Until you can come up with a sizeable number of Bosnians recruited into Al Qaeda, the whole post 9-11 Serbian dream of tying your war in Bosnia in with our War on Terror isn't going to go anywhere save with the ignorant and the stupid.

Please don't continue insulting serving US militasry intelligence officers by calling them ignorant and stupid.

US hunts Islamic militants in Bosnia

By Harry de Quetteville in Sarajevo
(Filed: 26/07/2004)

American military intelligence and the CIA have deployed hundreds of officers in Bosnia to track suspected Islamic militants amid concern that the country has become a refuge, recruiting ground and cash conduit for international terrorism.

Almost a decade after the end of the war in the former Yugoslavia, Bosnia has become a "one-stop shop" for Islamic militants heading from terrorist battlegrounds in Chechnya and Afghanistan to Iraq, according to European intelligence officials.

With five months to go before European Union peacekeepers take over from Nato troops in Bosnia, the United States is preparing for a huge cut in its military presence.

Can you come up with any list of Bosnians recruited into Al Qaeda?

No. You can't.

We've recently pulled the last of our troops from Bosnia, and at last report had left 100 or so intel types to keep an eye on those muj who came to fight in Bosnia and stayed on after the war was over.

Given that there have been no attacks upon our interests in Bosnia (a couple planned, but broken up with the help of the Bosnians) and there has been no reported instances of Bosnians showing up amongst the insurgent forces in either Iraq or Afghanistan, do you have any hope of bringing anything worthwhile to bring to the discussion?

Apparently not.
