Macedonia Blasts "Demonic" Forces of Terrorism

SKOPJE, Sep 12, 2001 -- (Agence France Presse) Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski sent condolences to the American people Tuesday and blasted the "demonic" forces of international terrorism.

"This shows the need for a very decisive fight against terrorists, to completely destroy it. Those who continue with terrorism and only be described as demonic," he said in a letter to U.S. President George W. Bush.

"If the United States is not protected from terrorism, then no-one is safe," he added.

NATO forces including U.S. troops, are currently in Macedonia to implement Operation Essential Harvest, to collect arms from ethnic Albanian rebels -- dubbed terrorists by Skopje -- as part of a Western-backed peace deal. ((c) 2001 Agence France Presse)

They're called "terrorists" for a reason. They aren't as bad as Osama's, but they are his allies. They are a part of expansionist extremist Islam, and they must be contained.

I don't think the proposed changes to the constitution have much chance now. And as for these terrorist not being as bad as bin liner's, anyone who ties explosives to civilian prisoners and blows them up is a pretty nasty piece of work.

The state department has been running amok for years. Yugoslavia got bombed for 70 Days because it dared to fight against islamic terrorists. The Bush administration put all his power behind its efforts to enforce the extradiction of Milosevic, so that he can be put on a trial in a court which is mostly funded by islamic countries. With its aid to Bosnia, KLA and Albania, US cleared the Drug smuggling routes to Europes heartland, routing from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Kurdistan, Turkey, via the Mediterrenian to Albania, Kosovo, Sandzak, Bosnia. So that the islamist groups can make more money. Albanian drug dealers are poor innocent fugitives, suffering from Serbian oppression. Thanks Madeleine. Thanks CNN. Thanks Bill. Did US stance toward the whole situation change after BushII became President? Or course not.
Did somebody want to destabilize the European Union? What was the aim in establishing the Taliban near the Soviet Union? Who is funding the Chechen terrorist and who is selling them arms. A lot of questions, which will not be answered, because all the documents relating to it are from now on "classified".

With all do respect Mr. German_speaker. As you said in your post "Albanian drug dealers are poor innocent fugitives". I think you still have an unclear picture of the situation in the Blakans. The Albanian majority is poor, but the gangster, pimp, drug dealers are far from that! You really don't support the Islamic Albanians do you. IF so I think in do time your fellow Germans will be facing the same situation as the Macedonians, Croats, Serbs, and Greeks. ITs only a matter of time before the minority Muslems in Germany pose a threat of expantion, and you will say " the Macedonians sould have been given the power and geen light to get rid of the fungus growing in Europe!

Its like this, in the USA we are similar in that our judao/christian beliefs give us a common sense of unity. The Muslems don't want to intergrate in this system, and only want to impose their religion and beliefs on us. In do time the rest of the world will learn, but, I guess it will be the hard way.

Nobody seems to be listening to the cries of the Macedonian people.

As in the bible, St. Paul had a vision in which a man from Macedonia came to him and ask for help. Now, once agian, the Macedonians are crying out to the christian world for the help and support to defeat the terrorists.

It was Alexander the Great that defeated the Great Persians over 2 thousand years ago, and it seems like history has come full circle. Its the same Persians\Arabs that threated the western world!

DNEVNIK: FUNDAMENTALISTS AND MUJAHEDEENS FIGHT FOR NLA

NLA members have tight ties, financial and military as well, with the Islamic fundamentalists, foreign and domestic intelligence sources confirm. In this tight chain, which functions for may years, the political leader of the Albanian terrorists Ali Ahmeti is also included, Dnevnik reads in today's edition as a continuation of Monday's article under the headline "NLA has direct relations with Bin Laden's terrorists."

There are reliable evidences that he has direct contacts for longer period with Jakup Asipi, a Moslem priest from the village of Slupcane, in Kumanovo region, who during the prayers calls the local population on holly war - jihad. Asipi, who is local spiritual leader, has with him the collaborators of Ahmeti - Daut Haradinaj, Malic Ndrecaj and Hisni Sakiri. The Moslem priest from Slupcane has paid a visit to one Arabic country not long ago, probably to Saudi Arabia, and with a group of mujahedeens came to Kosovo, after which his track is lost. It is assumed that mujahedeens, trained for committing terrorist actions, have been transferred to Macedonia.

Dnevnik reads that it is a fact that mujahedeen operate side by side with NLA members, which has been confirmed after the attack of the eight Macedonian policemen near Vejce. The investigation confirmed that one Mujahedeen has committed the massacre, who fought in Chechnya and called for the holly war.

The experts imply another relation of the Albanian terrorists with the Islamic fundamentalists - those are the names of their commanders. It is known that they are named by 'mulla' which explains whether some commander had finished the education in any Arabic country - regardless whether it is religious or military school. For example, the 'commander mulla' known from Tanushevci, has been actually Ridvan Neziri.

NATO official Monday said that the Alliance has no evidence for connection of NLA with Bin Laden.

"We have no information whatsoever that there have been a direct connection between Ahmeti and Laden," NATO spokesman Mark Leighty stated at Monday's press conference. The only evidence for the presence of the mujahedeens in Aracinovo "is the photography of men with beards if it is an evidence."

It is known that NATO has carried out the evacuation of the terrorists in Aracinovo without any officials of the Macedonian authorities. Dnevnik finds out from well-informed western sources that there have been mujahedeens in Aracinovo that made large "gaffe," out of which NATO has been really annoyed. During the withdrawal operation, the former Ambassador and OSCE chief of mission Carlo Hungaro came in Aracinovo whereat he had been mistakenly shot and lightly injured.

Foreign services are "treating" the activity of Al Qaida - organisation of Osama bin Laden for longer period. The operation of Al Qaida in Bosnia is already documented and services add that its fighters continued their holly war in Kosovo and in Macedonia through KLA. The indirect action of Bin Laden's organisation on the Balkans is followed for a longer period by foreign intelligence services, especially from the US intelligence. Several days since the last visit of the first man of CIA to Albania and Bulgaria, these countries have expelled several foreign citizens, mainly from Near East. Five men are expelled from Albania and certain Ahmet Musa is expelled from Bulgaria - all suspected for cooperation with the terrorist organisation Moslem brothers, which operates within the frameworks of the international Islamic terrorist organisations. One of the ways that this organisation operates (directly financed by Osama bin Laden) on the Balkans is through humanitarian organisations. Such organisation, registered in Macedonia during the Kosovo crisis has been directly "treated" by home and foreign intelligence services for possible connection with bin Laden's organisation.

Macedonian authorities are expected soon to start similar operation as its neighbours. The "broom" will sweep everyone that has any contacts with the Islamic fundamentalists
