BELGRADE -- Friday - Serbia's state media has shown documentary footage of members of the Kosovo Liberation Army smuggling arms into Kosovo from a Western country.
The Dutch-made "The Brooklyn Connection" discusses threats by Albanians to begin terrorism against the international community unless Kosovo becomes independent.
Part of the film shows guerrilla commander Fljoren Krasnici buying military supplies, including an elephant gun, in a shop, before having it delivered by plane an mule-teams to Kosovo.
In one sequence of the film, Krasnici and a mule driver set off from Albania for Kosovo with the words "Now let's go kill some Serbs".
Now that's odd.

Sounds to me like Kosovars making good Serb communists (dead ones) out of live Serb Communists.
Not a problem w/me.
Are you a Croat?
Not that that matters... The fact that you think someone deserves to die because his country used to be communist many years ago says everything. You are either incredibly dumb, incredibly racist, or most likely, both.
I know some Serbs. They are good, Christian, freedom-loving people.
I can't say the same for the Bosnians that I know.
Ditto That!
I wonder why has no one mentioned that the Kosovo Liberation Army is a Muslim terrorist organization funded in part by Al Queda, but mostly supported by their drug smuggling activities in Europe?
United States Senate Republican Policy Committee, March 1999
...The Kosovo Liberation Army "began on the radical fringe of Kosovar Albanian politics, originally made up of diehard Marxist-Leninists (who were bankrolled in the old days by the Stalinist dictatorship next door in Albania)....
More background for your enjoyment
United States Senate Republican Committee, March 1999
Perhaps most threatening to the SFOR mission -- and more importantly, to the safety of the American personnel serving in Bosnia -- is the unwillingness of the Clinton Administration to come clean with the Congress and with the American people about its complicity in the delivery of weapons from Iran to the Muslim government in Sarajevo. That policy, personally approved by Bill Clinton in April 1994 at the urging of CIA Director-designate (and then-NSC chief) Anthony Lake and the U.S. ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith, has, according to the Los Angeles Times (citing classified intelligence community sources), "played a central role in the dramatic increase in Iranian influence in Bosnia." Further, according to the Times, in September 1996 National Security Agency analysts contradicted Clinton Administration claims of declining Iranian influence, insisting instead that "Iranian Revolutionary Guard personnel remain active throughout Bosnia." ....
To understand how the Clinton green light would lead to this degree of Iranian influence, it is necessary to remember that the policy was adopted in the context of extensive and growing radical Islamic activity in Bosnia. That is, the Iranians and other Muslim militants had long been active in Bosnia; the American green light was an important political signal to both Sarajevo and the militants that the United States was unable or unwilling to present an obstacle to those activities -- and, to a certain extent, was willing to cooperate with them. In short, the Clinton Administration's policy of facilitating the delivery of arms to the Bosnian Muslims made it the de facto partner of an ongoing international network of governments and organizations pursuing their own agenda in Bosnia: the promotion of Islamic revolution in Europe. That network involves not only Iran but Brunei, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan (a key ally of Iran), and Turkey, together with front groups supposedly pursuing humanitarian and cultural activities.
For example, one such group about which details have come to light is the Third World Relief Agency (TWRA), a Sudan-based, phoney humanitarian organization which has been a major link in the arms pipeline to Bosnia. ["How Bosnia's Muslims Dodged Arms Embargo: Relief Agency Brokered Aid From Nations, Radical Groups," Washington Post, 9/22/96; see also "Saudis Funded Weapons For Bosnia, Official Says: $300 Million Program Had U.S. 'Stealth Cooperation'," Washington Post, 2/2/96] TWRA is believed to be connected with such fixtures of the Islamic terror network as Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman (the convicted mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing) and Osama Binladen, a wealthy Saudi emigre believed to bankroll numerous militant groups. [WP, 9/22/96] (Sheik Rahman, a native of Egypt, is currently in prison in the United States; letter bombs addressed to targets in Washington and London, apparently from Alexandria, Egypt, are believed connected with his case. Binladen was a resident in Khartoum, Sudan, until last year; he is now believed to be in Afghanistan, "where he has issued statements calling for attacks on U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf." [WP, 9/22/96])
To all concerned. I stand corrected. Apparently I was not as informed on the issue as I believed. My apologies.
I do however, still relish the thought of making "Good Communists".

This new Dutch fim documents the role of the KLA, an Albanian terrorist organization, in making large contributions to the Kerry campaign and in return receiving the praises of the likes of Richard Holbrooke and Wesley Clark. The film further notes that the KLA has connections to Al Quada and is willing to use arms against US troops in Kosovo in their goal of an independent "Kosova".
Here is a link to viewing the film.
I wonder how long before the Muslims kill this Dutch film director? Is anyone else here starting to like the Dutch Film industry in contrast to the trash that is Hollywood?
