There's no information about terrorists from Croatia in ANY of the articles he links to. The fact remains Croatia is a Catholic country and not exactly a base for radical Islamic terrorism.

There's an awful lot of Serbian-apologist type stuff floating around on FR presumably from Serbian-Americans....that is often of very dubious factual value. Be careful. Particularly when it tries to paint the Bosnians as a bunch of raving fundamentalist Muslims...there probably wasn't a less-religious Muslim community in the world than the Bosnians prior to the Bosnian Civil War. But, after it was going on a few years and the Serbs had managed to massacre whatever Bosnian Muslims they could get their hands on (Of course, all three sides in the conflict committed atrocities...the Serbs were the worst merely because they could be..they were the best armed and most powerful) various extremist Islamic factions did try to enter the region, recruit, etc, and they certainly were able to find a small number of radicalized adherents.

Note..I don't have a dog in that fight...I'm 1/2 In-America-for-400-years-English, and 1/2 Roman Catholic Slovak..not even near Yugoslavia, and just an interested observer.

Croatia is predominantly Catholic, but it has Orthodox and Muslim enclaves, and clinton did indeed bring in, or allowed to be brought in, Muslim terrorists from the Middle East and Afghanistan during the Bosnian conflict. We don't know if this guy is a Muslim, and maybe given the press in this country we'll never find out. But it's certainly a possibility.

Maybe he's just a Croat with mental problems. Let's hope.

Thanks for your perspective.

Tito kept Yugoslavia under his boot and under control. Milosevic was a brutal communist who deserves to rot in prison. The Serbian people had to suffer under his tyranny.

OTOH, you're right about Croatia; it's not a predominantly Muslim nation.

Sorry, but Croatia served as a transit point for arms sent through Sudan by Usama Bin Ladin to Muslim brigades operating in Bosnia. The Croatians played the game because they hoped the Muslims and Serbs would slaughter each other and make it easier for Croatia to carve away its share of Bosnia-Herzogevina

A lot of the pro-Serb stuff is being posted from overseas by a few people. It also tends to be posted in the morning (Eastern European time)/late at night here(US Eastern Standard time).

That being said, the fact that this gentleman had a foreign passport definitely needs to be followed up. The dead murderer may have been using a false identity and/or passport. A Croatian passport would raise less eyebrows at INS than would someone with say a Bosnian, Yugoslavian or Macedonian passport. And it definitely would raise less eyebrows than an Afghani or Iraqi passport.
