mark502inf, I guess American service women do not count in your book as being Americans killed by terrorists in the Balkans, huh? Oh yeah and if I remember correctly an American service man died also. At least I think it was the Balkans...oh yes it was, last time I checked Kosovo STILL was in the Balkans. ;p

As for November 17, who's group has been dismembers for years now and recently arrested, claimed a total of 20 lives, which is 20 too many, since they first appeared in 1975:

4 American officials
2 Turkish Diplomats
13 Greeks

Also last I check Nov. 17 wasn't sending insurgents to Iraq to fight against the US troops that help save their asses from the Serbs:

"The editor, Kemal Bakovic, met me over a fruit juice in a grim neighborhood of Soviet-style housing blocks, still pockmarked by shrapnel. An Arabic-speaker, he had studied in Zarqa, in Jordan—the hometown, he was pleased to remind me, of the man described by the United States as al-Qaida's chieftain in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

"We are all sick of wars here in Bosnia," Bakovic scoffed when I asked him about the Iraq troop deployment. "These guys, if they get killed in Iraq, they'll be killed for a foreign idea, not for their own country. Nobody will take care of their kids."

Some other Bosnian Muslims, he added, had already joined the war—on the insurgent side.

Bakovic told me he had run into a young Bosnian man who had just returned to Sarajevo from Fallujah, where he participated in attacks on U.S. soldiers."

apro, you do not "remember correctly". Despite your eagerness for such an event to happen, no U.S. military personnel have been killed in Bosnia or Kosovo due to hostile action. Period. Hasn't happened despite the presence of tens of thousands of Americans for years and years.

In contrast, in places such as East Africa & Afghanistan, the Phillipinnes and the Arabian Shield area--where where there really are Islamist terrorists--our soldiers are in combat every day.

However, you are right about one thing, just as you posted, the Greek November 17th terrorists have in fact attacked and killed Americans in Greece.
