BiH is a haven for quiet AQ-styled cells, training ground and safe haven for AQ-themed cells.
The only reason why "Albania" sent any troops was to recieve kickbacks from the US Govt..i.e open porous borders etc...
Did you fail to mention what the SFOR troops on the ground says about the three ethnic groups? To keep it short...muslims=bad...Serbs=good, very cooperative and they recieve the most useable intel from them. Croats=criminals/bad...
The Italian Cannarberie or whatever they call themselves despise the Croats and muslims... might be due to the fact they go out and roll them up for criminal activity that finances their weapons arsenal buildup...i.e the croats sends up a girl to the main gates to chat up with the guards...knows when the birds head out to forewarn...the croats also simply cut wires that disrupt immediate power and gives them a distraction for their activity... imagine that.
All the borders are porous in that area--it's why the "Balkans Route" is famous for smuggling. Having said that, it is true that Albania is a favored smuggling nexus. The Albanian government does not "allow free reign ... and free access," but the combination of weak and inefficient law enforcement, corruption, and long rugged land & sea borders makes it a pretty attractive path to travel for those who don't want what they are doing to be checked.
Because al Qaeda owns the KLA and the Dhimmi stooges who support it.
