Yep, ditto here...I don’t anyone (and all I know are born here in the USA) who didn’t get a thorough check.
Sarajevo/Banja Luka - Nearly one tonne of radioactive waste has disappeared from a hospital in Banja Luka over the last couple of days, Bosnian Serb media reported Tuesday citing official sources. The radioactive material needed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes was stored in lead containers in the basement of the Banja Luka hospital, from where it was stolen, Bosnian Serb Health Minister Ranko Skrbic told local media.
Skrbic however said the waste should not be dangerous to the population. It was likely that the containers would be sold as the lead is very heavy and has a certain market value, reports said. Skrbic said an investigation into the case would be opened to find out how it was possible for the radioactive lead containers to disappear from the hospital's storage, despite security measures.

Albanian terror group threatens war in Kosovo
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
NORTHERN KOSOVO, Serbia-An outlawed ethnic Albanian paramilitary group is patrolling northern Kosovo towns along the Serb border in defiance of international authorities, saying it had been provoked by Serb threats and will defend Kosovo "to the last soldier."
A commander of the outlawed Albanian National Army, known as AKSH and branded as a terrorist organization by the U.N. mission in Kosovo, also told The Associated Press the group was disillusioned with Kosovo's political leaders and considered the international-mediated talks on the province's future to be a failure.
"Preka," who commands a group of 40-50 paramilitaries in northern Kosovo, agreed to the interview under the condition that the exact location and his name not be disclosed. The paramilitaries were wearing ski masks and mostly black military fatigues, and were equipped with different types of light weapons, including AK-47s.

Canadian accused of war crimes in Croatia held without bond in Detroit
Tuesday November 13th, 2007
DETROIT - A Canadian truck driver accused of war crimes against civilians in his native Croatia has been ordered held without bond at the Wayne County Jail pending a hearing next month.
Goran Pavic, 42, of Kitchener, Ont., was arrested last Wednesday night after crossing the Ambassador Bridge from Windsor, Ont., into Detroit. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection service says the long-haul trucker's name was on an Interpol list of Serbs wanted for war crimes by the Croatian government.
The U.S. government wants to extradite Pavic to face charges. But his lawyer questions whether there is a valid extradition treaty in effect and whether alleged war crimes are subject to that treaty. U.S. Magistrate Judge Virginia Morgan set a Dec. 4 hearing on the issue.
Very true. Someone I know who hired in with a homeland security-related part of the government a year ago has undergone recent (last month or so) scruntiny (along with others hired besides himself).
