Bosnia: Muslim Newspaper Points to Existence of Islamic Terror Camps

Sarajevo, 30 August (AKI) - A Bosnian Muslim newspaper on Tuesday joined a chorus of mostly Serbian news reports on the existence of training camps for Islamic terrorists, accusing the international community of closing its eyes in front of this danger. The weekly Slobodna Bosna (Free Bosnia), whose editor is Senad Avdic, a moderate Muslim, in its latest issue described in detail how and where the alleged terrorist camps operate in Bosnia. The paper criticised the commander of the international forces in Bosnia (Eufor) David Leaky for his recent statement that he had no knowledge of the existence of such camps.

In the article titled “The Commander of Eufor in Bosnia David Leaky is Playing Dumb”, the paper said that there was no point in presenting the facts to the “uninformed general”. "Is he (Leaky) really uninformed, which is hard to believe, or is he conscientiously deceiving the local public, like most Western politicians who serve in Bosnia and advocate the thesis that the best thing for world security is that all terrorists be concentrated in one place, in Bosnia, where they can be kept under control”, the paper asked.

The paper quoted former UN representative in Bosnia, Jacques Klein, as having confirmed to the Security Council that Islamic terrorists were active in Bosnia, but added that it was good they were concentrated in one place, because “the rest of the world would be safe”.

Similar reports in Bosnian media have been carried in the past mostly by Serbian newspapers and Slobodna Bosna is the first Muslim paper to tackle the subject.

The paper said that terrorist training camps had been situated near the Jablanica and Boracko Lakes in Herzegovina, but were later moved to other locations.

“At the beginning of August this year the Active Islamic Youth organized a big camp between Bihac and Bosanska Krupa, in the location of Grmusa”, the paper said.

According to Slobodna Bosna, the training was conducted under military tents on the property of Fuad Vukovic, whose father Mustafa was one of the founders of the ruling Muslim Party for Democratic Action.

The paper pointed out that it was impossible for the international soldiers not to have noticed the big tents, the presence of large groups of people and automobile plates from various European countries where they came from.

Slobodna Bosna said that apart from Active Islamic Youth, the Wahabi Islamic movement has been gathering strength in Bosnia under the instructions of mujahedin from Arabic countries, who have remained in Bosnia following 1992-1995 civil war.

The Italian daily Corriere della Sera reported last week that a Wahabi cell was also operating in eastern Bosnian village of Gornja Maoca and was plotting terrorist attacks in Italy. The Wahabi school of thought is the strictest of Sunni Islam and is advocated by Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Muslim Slavs of Bosnia are gradually realizing the perils of being led by a militant islamist party that invited thousands of foreign jihadists to help fight against their Orthodox Serbian ethnic brothers. Uprooting the cancer will be much more difficult than planting it, but admission of the problem is a beginning.

That UN idiot says the world is safe because these terrorists were staying put, but the very last paragraph says they are planning attacks in Italy. Morons.

Some how I can't help thinking the Serbs were completely duped by the propaganda war. The had no interest in living as a minority under an Islamic-ruled Bosnia yet the West, pumped up on psuedo-history fabricated by Bosnia's supporters- CNN's Christiane Amananpor was the worst - had us believeing that Serbs invaded from Serbia and were fighting to create a "Greater Serbia".

Nonsense. They make up more than 30% of that sorry land and fought to for the right to secede from that fake country.

When Islamo-fascists kill Westerners, they get rightly branded as terrorists, but when they killed Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo, they became "victims seeking revenge..."
