KURŠUMLIJA, UŽICE -- An official says a threat came a month ago that the Kosovo administrative boundary area would be set on fire.

While the blazes continue in the area along the administrative line separating Serbia proper and Kosovo, the state forestry management enterprise, Srbijašume, says all the fires that broke out in the region in the past couple of days were the work of arsonists.

Fires have often broken out simultaneously in several locations at night time, when firefighters often could not reach the locations for safety concerns.

Forestry directorate chief with Srbijašume, Branislav Prolović, told reporters Friday that his company received information from Kosovo a month ago that the entire area along the separation line between municipalities of Kuršumlija and Podujevo would be torched.

"One of the key officials in Kosovo threatened that everything from Ugljarski Krš to Prepolac, on the administrative line between Podujevo and Kuršumlija, would burn, and so it has."

"So far the fire has spread to some ten kilometers along the line, five more to go to Ugljarski Krš. These are the 15 kilometers that have always been volatile."

"The structure that burnt down recently belonged to a woman who was robbed and murdered there after the war. Now the house has been torched as well," Prolović says.

Hoplite's heroes.

A threat of arson at the Kosovo border a month ago? Has to make you wonder about the arson in Greece!

I had just finished that last post when I got this an email from a friend with substantial Greek political and military connections. Names are removed to protect the innocent:

...They all agree that the conflagration was caused by Islamic terrorists. They told us that they have discovered the devices that they use to start the fires. They (the terrorists) use cell phones which are placed in containers filled with inflammatory materials. These devices are placed at intervals along a tree line stretching for many kilometers. The devices are exploded when they ring up the telephone numbers. They blame Albanian terrorists and in fact they are now tracking down the master mind of this unglodly attack against Greece. Greece is reluctant to go public with this information fearing that the Muslim world will come down hard on their heads.

Presumably, when Greece finds the mastermind, the "who" will speak for itself.

Can't Serbia build some kind of firelines along the vulnerable borders with Kosovo - and send sharpshooters and special forces to shoot back at those from Kosovo shooting into Serbia. Mining or booby trapping the border in key areas would prevent the Kosovar goons from cross over raids. The only way to fight the Kosovar goons is to fight dirty and ultra sneaky, to go by rules you limit yourselves but not them. So instead of always complaining do things and be sneaky and don't tell the international organizations or forces anything at all. They cheated and do not adhere to agreements so you can never ever trust them - must cheat forever them whenever you can manage it because they are entirely and thoroughly souless.

I’ll await further reports from Greece and from Serbia after they catch the culprits.

If the islamists can do this in Southeast Europe, they can do it in the Western United States as well, with even more devastating consequences. (Even though I have lived in Blue State-land for many years, I am originally from the great American West—it probably show in my FR posts.)

According to a special report in this week’s Newsweek, Al Qaeda and its offshoots are looking for new ways to attack the US again. Massive arson in the West is one of many possibilities, I imagine.

Think! Serbia can't catch terrorists/arsonists in Kosovo for KFOR/NATO won't allow it. There's murderers of Serbs running around for many years in Kosovo. Serbs can't solve crimes in Kosovo and can't catch culprits in Kosovo. It is a terrorist land overseen by NATO.

It holds true that Islam is the maker of deserts.
