Bosnia: New video shows 'mujahadeen atrocities'
AKI: Adnkronos International (Italy) | 18 September 2007

Bijeljina/Beograd (Belgrade) - A Bosnian TV station has broadcast part of an alleged new video apparently showing gruesome crimes perpetrated againt Bosnian Serbs by a unit of Muslim fighters during Bosnia's 1992-1995 civil war.

The footage, broadcast by BN TV apparently shows the 'El Mujahadid' unit "sharpening axes" which they later allegedly used to behead a Bosnian Serb soldier.

The video also reportedly shows footage of the mujahadeen in playing football using a decapitated head instead of a ball, Serbian news agency Tanjug reported.

It contains chilling scenes showing mutilated corpses and mujahadeen tying up and abusing prisoners of war. A mujahadeen is heard saying: "They call us terrorists. We are terrorists and we will destroy all the enemies of Allah."

The El Mujahid was a unit consisting of fighters from Muslim countries, who, as they say on the tape, came to Bosnia to "fight for Allah."

The unit was formed in 1993 and in that year became part of the Bosnian Muslim Army under the command of the War Council headed by Bosnia's then-president Alija Izetbegovic, the video recounts.

The footage also shows Izetbegovic arriving at the mujahadeen camp and shows life inside it as the fighters training for war and worship. Women in strict Islamic dress are seen living in the camp, as well as children dressed in military wear, while one small girl is shown holding a pistol.

This tape was found by the Bosnian Serb entity's Council of Concentration Camp Victims. Its president, Branislav Dukic, says that the footage was supplied by Bosnian Muslims.

Dukic said that even among Bosnia's Muslims there are "those who wish to prove the presence of mujahadeen in Bosnia, and the war crimes they committed on the territory of central Bosnia."

The unit, as is claimed at the end of the video, numbered some 1,000 fighters by the end of the war, including around 700 Bosnian Muslims, recruited during the course of the war, and 300 foreign warriors from Islamic countries.

Footage recently surfaced on the Internet of a farewell ceremony for the mujahadeen, featuring addresses given by the Muslim Army commander and war crimes indictee General Rasim Delic, and other senior army commander, Sakib Mahmuljin, B52 reported.

Nice going, Bill Clinton. We were on the wrong side during the Kosovo War.

Delic directed NATO to bomb Serbs - General Michael Rose

Gen. Michael Rose's "Fighting for Peace: Bosnia 1999" - Grossly Inaccurate Portrayal of the Bosnian War by Professor Noel Malcolm.

[General] Rose even states that he "dispatched NATO aircraft to the enclave of Maglaj at the request of [General Rasim] Delic to support the Bosnian Army". Was such an action designed "to alter the balance of force in a civil war"? Of course not - for that would have been a pure act of war.

No just Kosovo, we were on the wrong side in Bosnia, too.

I won't excuse any of the three sides' excesses, but if we were gonna side with anybody, we should've sided with the Serbs and / or the Croats.

We did side with the Croats because they were allies of the Bosnian Muslims.

This blog has a link to the video and says that children are shown being trained by the Mujahadid:

Video: Muslim 'El Mujahadid' Behead Serb, Play Soccer With Head

TV report showing 'El Mujahadid' unit--which later was incorporated into the Bosnian Muslim Army--preparing to behead a Serbian. Portions of the video not shown also show these Bosnians playing soccer with the Serb's decapitated head.

Warning: About 1:45 in to the video you begin to see bound prisoners, and knives & axes being sharpened. The video does not show the beheading, but it does show one bound prisoner being shot. It also shows children being trained by the Mujahidin.

The date stamp from the beheading portion of the video shows 1995--two years after this unit of mostly foreign fighters was incorporated into the Bosnian Muslim Army under the command of the War Council headed by Bosnia's then-president Alija Izetbegovic.

I expect YouTube to delete the video soon, but I've downloaded it and will re-upload it somewhere else as soon as time permits...

I’m not going to attempt to excuse some of the actions the Serbs took in retaliation but what was President Clinton thinking when he sided with these Islamofascists?

The [El Mujahadid] unit, as is claimed at the end of the [muslim] video, numbered some 1,000 fighters by the end of the war, including around 700 Bosnian Muslims, recruited during the course of the war, and 300 foreign warriors from Islamic countries.

But the "Bosnian" muslims say that they are "moderates". And the clintons, Holbrooke, Samantha Power, and Michael Sells--not to mention our resident pancake-flipper--agree that the BosMus are "moderates", and call them our "friends".

If we Americans are even to hope to win the War on Terror, these lies must STOP!!! And Srpska must be free!!!!

The bottom line for Clinton was that he wanted to appease the Muslim world (a world that cannot be appeased) even if it meant destroying a Christian people.

The biggest mistake President Bush made when he first went into office was not fire all the Clintonites in the Department of State, like Nicolas Burns and CIA director George Tenet. Furthermore, President Bush gave the inept Tenet the highest award for a civilian, The Medal of Freedom Award!

Burns was the mouthpiece for Clinton and now he is the mouthpiece for President Bush and is the person spearheading our recognition of independence for the Kosovo Muslim Albanians, whose government is in control of jihadists. If this happens, it will mean the eradication of Serbia's culture, language and religion in their Jerusalem. More importantly, it would mean the creation of a Muslim country in the heart of Europe. Tom Lantos, at a hearing on 17 April of this year said, "The United States stands foursquare behind the creation of an ovewhelmingly Muslim country in the heart of Europe.

If you can explain why we are fighting Muslim terrorists all over the world yet we are trying to impose a Muslim country in Europe by ceding Kosovo to a bunch of Muslim terrorists?

Beam me up, Scotty!
