Macedonia - Mujahedins to Attack American (US) Bases in Petrovec and Kosovo?

A link has been discovered between the humanitarian organization Jeta operating in Macedonia and Osama bin Laden’s Jeda-based bank

Well-trained mujahedin groups are prepared to strike U.S. facilities in this region in case the United States attacks Afghanistan, Dnevnik reports relying on well-informed sources. Part of those groups is located in the Debar region and Kosovo and is put on stand-by to attack the U.S. bases Able Sentry in Petrovec near Skopje and Bondsteel in Kosovo. Anonymous sources say the threat has come from “Commander Beard” (or “Mjekra” in Albanian). “Commander Mjekra” is one of the key persons in the collaboration between the NLA and the KLA and is in charge of intelligence issues. He is the connection between the mujahedin group of 200-300 that has been located in the surroundings of Debar for quite some time now, and the mujahedins stationed in Kosovo. The Debar mujahedins have come from Albania, presumably from one of the training camps near Peshkopea and Kuks and are linked to the NLA.Macedonian intelligence officers say this is yet another proof of the NLA ties with the Islamic fundamentalists that are directly bound up to bin Laden’s warriors. These ties are now confirmed by the U.S. intelligence, even though they have kept silent so far regarding these matters.

In the wake of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the founded suspicion that it was Osama bin Laden who masterminded the attack, as well as following the articles published in Dnevnik about the possible link of this terrorist with the NLA, the foreign intelligence services operating in Macedonia suddenly increased their interest in the domestic intelligence’s past reports on possible ties between bin Laden and the Balkan events. After this, we may well say, expected turn of interest of the foreign intelligence officers in Skopje, they started sifting through the activities of the humanitarian organizations in the territory of Macedonia, such as Jeta, Spikes of Goodness (“Klasje na dobrinata” in Macedonian) and El Hilal. During the Kosovo crisis, Macedonian and foreign media already ran features on possible financial connections of these organizations with the Islamic Bank in Jeda, Saudi Arabia, and on the money laundering attempts through certain banks in Pristina and Tirana. And it is exactly the Jeda-based bank that the foreign intelligence for a considerable time has regarded as financial branch office of bin Laden’s organization Al Qaeda. According to U.S. intelligence reports, the Albania-based training camp Bajram Curi is directly financed by Al Qaeda through these banks. Reports addressed to foreign intelligence services also list some actual names assumed to be involved in all these humanitarian military transactions. For instance, Zharku Gafur is one of the leading figures in Jeta, while his relative Xhabir Gafur is NLA commander. Following data exchange with American colleagues concerning the presence in Macedonia of Ali Husein and Mahdi Dindirevi, Islamic Bank representatives, both from the Sudan, the Americans confirmed that this has to do something with bin Laden.

For anyone who doesn't know, Debar is located in Western Macedonia, practically bordering Albania (in fact i think it does). Also, the airport is at Petrovec....

The inhabitants of Debar also happen to be a mainly Albanian.... Zharku Gafur is one of the leading figures in Jeta, while his relative Xhabir Gafur is NLA commander

WOW.... I wonder if the so called humanitarian organisation (read terrorist organisation) Jeta is financing/aiding the NLA? During the Kosovo crisis, Macedonian and foreign media already ran features on possible financial connections of these organizations with the Islamic Bank in Jeda, Saudi Arabia, and on the money laundering attempts through certain banks in Pristina and Tirana

OH MY GOD!!!! Could it be that there are banks in the middle east that support the Albo terrorists? And it is exactly the Jeda-based bank that the foreign intelligence for a considerable time has regarded as financial branch office of bin Laden’s organization Al Qaeda. According to U.S. intelligence reports, the Albania-based training camp Bajram Curi is directly financed by Al Qaeda through these banks

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Bin Laden's psychopathic followers are training, even financing the terrorists in the Balkans, through banks in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia no less)..... I bet this comes as a surprise to many.......

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
