By M. Bozinovich "It's not true there were mujahideen in Kosovo. That is a figment of your imagination." Sabit Kadriu, Albanian ‘human rights’ activist in Kosovo while testifying against Milosevic at the Hague At the April's international police conference held in Sofia, Bulgaria reiterated that Islamic terrorism is creeping up in the Balkans. Speaking at a regional police anti-crime conference, Bulgarian General Boiko Borisov urged for "joint efforts to fight the global terrorism network" calling on the participants from the likes of Germany, Albania and Turkey to join efforts in limiting militants' access to financing and to enhance security of transport and border control.
Earlier in March, the Bulgarian spy chief Kircho Kirov issued a more specific warning on presence of al Qaeda in the Balkans and bluntly stated that extremists with links to Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda network are present in the Balkans and are infiltrating other European countries. In a joint NATO-Bulgarian report published in March 2005, Kirov cities Kosovo as a direct source of regional instability and a hub for international terrorism.
Indeed, speaking by proxy is nothing new, so these broad and sweeping statements by Bulgaria are significant because it is the US with its FBI offices in Sofia that ultimately stand behind these statements. What is not new is that Washington itself, as usual, has elected to remain mute on the specific al-Qaeda presence among Kosovo Albanians so one is left to search for the terrorist dots elsewhere in order to connect them.

Another Clinton FUBAR.
Bin Laden issued a fatwah
Clinton issued a fat wad
Which got the biggest result?
Al-Qaeda grew while Monica blew.
The cult of liars speaks.
nope
Me neither, thought I'd ask anyway.
Monica got a stained blue dress and messy tonsils and Clinton's inaction got us the rest. Results were identical.
There are three Muslims penguins in Antarctica--I don't think they know about Al QAIDA yet.
Good interesting post. Of course they were. Salafists were in the Balkans since the Bosnian days. Muslims in the Balkans (Albanians, Bosnians & Pomaks in Bulgaria) have for the most part been fairly secular and rather heterodox in their approach to Islam (Bektashi Islam in Albania has very interesting practices). Wahhabi types figured they could give them military assistance but also make Wahhabis out of them. Many mosques from the Turkish days that were beautifully designed were torn down in favor of Wahhabi style architect (box like no art whatsoever). Now how much as the local Balkan Muslim population radicalized? Good question--but the presence of al Qauda Wahhabists is true.
