MOSTAR, Bosnia-Herzegovina - NATO ( news - web sites) troops in Bosnia seized computers from a Bosnian Croat army unit on suspicion they were used for illegal activities, a NATO spokesman said Wednesday.
The seizure was made during an inspection of a Bosnian Croat military communication station on July 17 but was reported by the peacekeepers only on Wednesday.
NATO troops were now investigating the computers to see whether they had been used in any "illegal activity," generally defined as a threat to a safe and secure environment in Bosnia, said Maj. Christopher de Lambert, a spokesman for the peacekeepers in the southern city of Mostar.
NATO troops inspected the communication facility in the central Bosnian town of Jajce and of the Bosnian Croat military headquarters near Mostar "to confirm if illegal activities have been conducted" that would contradict Bosnia's peace agreement, de Lambert said.
The peace agreement ended the Bosnian 1992-1995 war and deployed foreign troops to the country to maintain the peace and monitor the former warring factions, now different armies.
The agreement divided the country into two mini-states, the Bosnian Serb republic and the Muslim Croat federation. Each part has its own army. In the Muslim Croat federation, however, the Muslims and the Croats never really integrated their armed forces, though they formally have a joint command.
The peace agreement gives the NATO-led peacekeepers unlimited rights to observe and inspect the local forces and their facilities. The troops have occasionally found that the forces were spying on the peacekeepers or on each other.
Spending too much time at www.shavedgoat.com again.
Damned napster clones.
So these "peacekeepers" are not some neutral force, with transparent intentions. They have something that requires spying on--or which the natives of the Country consider requires spying on.
Does anyone remember when NATO was a Defensive alliance, and not an Army that occupies other lands, and does what is necessary to make certain that there will be no effective effort to resist its agenda?
There is a lot about this which should raise questions.
