"Hicks completed basic military training at a KLA camp and engaged in hostile action before returning to Australia," the US case states."
And thus confirming Al-Qaeda links to the KLA who Clinton supported when he bombed Serbia.
You may find this interesting...a confirmation of sorts that al-qaeda was involved in Kosovo (through KLA)
"And thus confirming Al-Qaeda links to the KLA who Clinton supported when he bombed Serbia."
I'm not surprised. But some Americans will be.
And a ping for you guys, too!
Jane, Hicks was in the Balkans for a few months in 1999. According to your story, he first linked up with Al Qaeda in 2001 in Afghanistan.
And btw, it was NATO (19 countries--at that time--who had to unanimously approve the action) that bombed Serbia. Regardless of the central role that Albright et al had in the diplomatic bungling at Rambouillet, every country in NATO from Greece to France to Iceland had to approve the NATO campaign and did so.
And if you think Clinton supported the KLA, you don't know much about our (thankfully) ex-president. He supported only himself. He cared as little for the KLA as he did for the Serbs or anyone else. Clinton was motivated by a combination of a narcissistic legacy-quest with post-impeachment damage control. Milosevic's past record of war-crimes and ongoing depredations against the Kosovar Albanians gave Clinton an easy target.
However, Clinton's motivations do not lessen the very real crimes committed by the Serbs in Kosovo nor mitigate against the NATO casus belli of promoting regional stability by stopping the ethnic cleansing and preventing a wider conflict.
