Bosnia Muslim slams "lies" on bin Laden links

SARAJEVO, Oct 12 (Reuters) - A Bosnian Muslim leader on Friday said oppostition politicians were trying to exploit world anger over the attacks on the United States to destroy Bosnia, something they failed to do during the 1992-95 war.

"The aim is to divert this wave of anger which exists currently in the world also against Bosnia," Alija Izetbegovic told a news conference.

He cited as an example allegations by a Bosnian politician of the existence of a photograph showing him with Saudi-born Islamic militant Osama bin Laden.

Bin Laden has become the world's most wanted man after being named by the United States as the prime suspect in last month's suicide attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon near Washington, which killed more than 5,400.

Some Bosnian politicians have accused Izetbegovic, former chairman of the Bosnian presidency, of wartime links with bin Laden's associates.

"Lies of this sort have been obstinately spread," said Izetbegovic, adding the goal was to create confusion.

"Thousands of murderers walk freely in Bosnia today and it is in their interest to point the finger at other people here...as terrorists," he said.

Izetbegovic said opposition politicians were using the fact that Islamic mujahideen fought alongside Muslim-led government forces in the Bosnian conflict to link Bosnia with terrorism.

Bosnian wartime authorities are believed to have issued a number of passports to those fighters as a reward. Bosnian authorities, checking their number, say it does not exceed 420.

The NATO-led peacekeeping force in Bosnia has arrested six people in the last two weeks, four were suspected of terrorism links. All six were later released or deported.

In addition, Bosnian police said they arrested and deported during the past two months four Egyptians who had Bosnian citizenship and were wanted by Interpol under terrorism charges.

>>>>>>>>>>>Izetbegovic said opposition politicians were using the fact that Islamic mujahideen fought alongside Muslim-led government forces in the Bosnian conflict to link Bosnia with terrorism.<<<<<<<<<

And Izetbegovic was their Commander in Chief

The most recent exposed link to terrorism is that OBL Lieutenant was arrested in Bosnia two days ago.

the other links are too numerous to mention

Anyone who doubts that Alija Izetbegovic and his clique are islamic supremacists cut from the same cloth as bin Laden should read Izzie's "Islamic Declaration". This muslim-Nazi screed calls for an ISLAMIC WORLD STATE, including a totally muslim "Bosnia" in which there would be no place whatsoever for any Christian!!! (Serbs and other Christians would have to convert to islam, move, or die!!!) This Mein Kampf-like "Declaration" could have been written by the Ayatollah Khomeini, or bin Laden himself--they all think EXACTLY alike!!!

The current UN/NATO/muslim entity in Bosnia is a spiders' nest of muslim terrorists, subversives, spies, criminals, money launderers, and other muscreants. (I have a DUMPSTER-LOAD of documentation to back that statement up!!) If Serbian and/or other "opposition politicians" would manage to destroy the "Bosnian" muslim entity, they would be doing the whole world (including the American people) a GREAT BIG FAVOR!!!

Please, people, stay safe this weekend, with the big alert and all! And if you see any suspicious activity, report it to the FBI or your local police. It would be REALLY NEAT if the terrorists' big scare weekend turned into the weekend where the terrorists were captured and their plans thwarted, all because of the alertness and action of good Americans!!!

I understand that this snake announced today that he was stepping down as the leader of his SDA party---due to ill health and age-I also understand that the AFP posted that Rugovno announced in Italy yesterday that he is steppping down from politics.....coincidence? Divine providence? Or did someone make them an offer they couldn't refuse?

So,great "democrat" Izetbegovich has spoken!How nice!Babo(Daddy) is worried for the faith of Bosnia?!Which one?Croats don`t want to live with them,Serbs as well?!Which Bosnia he represents?

Last weekend I had a chance to meet a newly appointed ambassador of Bosnia to Macedonia.He was visiting Wales to get instructions ,from the British,how to behave and what to do!Through some NGO,of course,whose responsability is to keep an eye on a new colonials and tell them how to toe NATO line!Being a best friend of my friend from Sarajevo ,he told us some very interesting stuff!Alia Izetbegovich attempt to turn Bosnia into European Pakistan (his role model state) is advancing at a slow pace.Lots of panic in Sarajevo over mujahedins and their terrorist background!Open threats by the Iranian and Saudi "diplomats" if Bosnian Government try to crack down on mujahedin`s colony in a former Serbian vilage,Bochinja Donja,where ,app. 500 of them live!

The resault of Clinton/Izetbegovich policy during the last decade is the introduction of Iran into the Europe!Number of mujahedin in Bosnia,Kosovo and Albania is not that big but,their permanent presence coupled with intensive indoctrination of the Bosnian and Albanian Muslims by a newly introduced mulahs and mosques build by Saudi money,means,new kind of Vahabi Islam,a virulent anti Christian fundamentalist Islam which will cause big trouble in the years to come!That doesn`t mean that Bosnians or Albanians will embrace it wholeheartedly,but,hundreds will and that will be enough!Bosnia will never be the same,again!

A role of Osama Bin Laden in Bosnia,I believe,is overestimated,but,a role of Saudi Arabia is underestimated!And,that is a danger!Remember,IRA doesn`t have an army,only a few hundred fanatics creating mayhem for the last 30-40 years!Or ETA in Spain(new car bomb today)!

Alia Izetbegovich attempt to turn Bosnia into European Pakistan (his role model state) is advancing at a slow pace.

And yet "The International Community" thought the Serbs in BiH were so "bad" for not wanting to live in the lovely Pakistan-like Islamic state Izetbegovic envisioned. (Of course the Croats in BiH didn't want to live in such a state either, but they weren't considered so "bad" for reasons we all know.)

A role of Osama Bin Laden in Bosnia,I believe,is overestimated,but,a role of Saudi Arabia is underestimated!

Agreed. Many fingers in that pie, but the Saudis are second only to the Iranians.
