Very interesting article regarding Albania. Just a few snips:

SNIP:
In a sworn testimony before the Congress in December of 2000, however, Assistant Director of Interpol’s Criminal Intelligence Directorate, Ralf Mutschke, stated that Clinton's State Department, well before Grassley made inquiries about Albanian narco-politics, had "listed the KLA [in 1998] as a terrorist organization, indicating that it was financing its operations with money from the international heroin trade and loans from Islamic countries and individuals, among them allegedly Osama bin Laden.” Mutschke also confirmed that Osama bin Laden sent one of his top military commanders to Kosovo to lead “an elite KLA unit during the Kosovo conflict.”

SNIP:
Termed "Natural Albania" these territories are to consolidate the Albanian nationalist territorial gains that will make a vast Albanian, and to the delight of al-Qaeda, a Muslim dominated territorial sphere in the middle of Europe, where narco-terrorists will sustain this Albanian state while Islamic suicide killers in it freely plan their attacks on the West.

SNIP:
Recently arrested Doda Luzaj, a Kosovo Albanian that was planning to detonate 2 bombs inside the Montenegro Parliament, was a courier for al-Qaeda according to the Vianna based newspaper Kronen Zeitung. The 2005 Europol arrest of 23 in Netherlands also suggests courier type relationship between Kosovo Albanian mafia and al-Qaeda...

Piece of blade found on Delta flight
Feb 12, 2007

The Transportation Security Administration performed a security sweep of a Delta Air Lines plane at Orlando International Airport last night after an inch-and-a-half long knife blade was found on board.

The blade, which appeared to be a piece of a broken knife, was found by a passenger on Delta Flight 1293 on its way from New York's John F. Kennedy Airport to Orlando, said TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz.

The passenger then alerted the flight crew, who called TSA. All of the passengers were allowed to exit the plane and leave the airport, Koshetz said. "It's unusual," Koshetz said of the incident. "We didn't consider it a threat in any way. We ensured the plane was safe for future passengers."

Police investigating two works bomb explosions (Illinois)
Monday, February 12, 2007

GALESBURG - Galesburg police are investigating two works bomb explosions reported at 5:37 p.m. Sunday. Dispatchers received several calls regarding "shots fired" in the 200 block of Lincoln Street. Investigating officers found remnants of two exploded works bombs and a live works bomb in the road in front of 228 Fulton St. Firefighters used a pike pole to release pressure from the plastic bottle before disposing of it.

A works bomb is a homemade bomb made from common household ingredients. Although these types of bombs do not cause flames or produce a tremendous amount of heat, they can cause burns or injury to the eyes of a person.
