PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro — Abdelmajid Bouchar, a 22-year-old Moroccan, sought for involvement in last year's train bombings in the Spanish capital Madrid, that killed nearly 200 people, was caught at the Belgrade railway station in June.
The arrest, revealed earlier this month, revived concerns that the Balkans — with its porous borders, unsophisticated security systems, rampant corruption and organized crime — could serve as a haven for Al Qaeda-linked terrorist groups.

The west reaps what it sows, an islamic terror state, established by Blair and Clinton.

At least three other militants were killed and 15 wounded in the fighting, in which A-10 warplanes and attack helicopters bombed caves along a ridge where the militants had sought shelter and had stashed weapons, Yonts said Monday. No Afghan or coalition troops were wounded...

Balkins-Al Qaeda BUMP!
So you're saying he did stop when told to halt, and did cease to struggle once the officers were on top of him?
You're right, that is different from what I've heard. I'll keep my eyes posted for the investigation results. Doesn't change my opinion about all the keyboard critics, though.
There has been a link for the last 10 years. We should know that when Bin Laden picked up his Bosnian passport years ago.
