Lots of points of discussion regarding the US turning a blind eye and even encouraging fundy islamatic activity.
But the fact that this appears in the Stars and Stripes is significant, IMO, as is almost an expression of mea culpa, particularly the sidebar report's references to Gen. Wesley Clark and to the policy.

OOps, Stars and Stripes, not starts.

Mujahedeen used to live in this house in the village of Bocinja. Those who took over homes illegally were evicted from the Serb village, but some of their Bosnian followers still reside in several houses they bought from the pre-war Serb residents. The house with loudspeakers now serves as the village mosque.

A town sign greets entrants to the village of Bocinja in Bosnia and Herzegovina where foreign Islamic fighters — Mujahedeen — used to live.

Great post swarthyguy! I am glad I am not the only one posting the connections anymore.

Stars and Stripes, eh? What took "them" so long?

We on FreeRepublic have been saying this from day one.

For background go to BIN LADEN GATE

Regarding the sidebar article Report: No evidence of U.S. weapons assistance Evidence that that there was such assistance can be found in this posted article (also linked via the BIN LADEN GATE thread) Argentina's Menem to be freed in arms case (Clinton used him to smuggle arms to Bosnian Muslims)

The truth is breaking free and the those traitors in our govt in this and the past administration will have much to answer for. I expect many sudden "suicides" in the near future.

"Al-Qaida trained Mujahedeen to go and fight in Bosnia during the early ’90s, and bin Laden’s Services Office also maintained an office in neighboring Croatia’s capital, Zagreb."

The Mujahedeen came into Bosnia from Croatia, the colonel said. "They came into Croatia at the ports of Split and Rijeka. Those were big centers."

He said there were about 500 Mujahedeen who came to help Bosnia from 1993 until the end of the war.

It's nice to finally have a number to play with - but this one really puts a damper on claims of an entire Brigade of Mujahadeen in Bosnia.

Guess we'll have to settle for a Battalion.

Clinton-Approved Iranian Arms Transfers Help Turn Bosnia into Militant Islamic Base

Perhaps most threatening to the SFOR mission -- and more importantly, to the safety of the American personnel serving in Bosnia -- is the unwillingness of the Clinton Administration to come clean with the Congress and with the American people about its complicity in the delivery of weapons from Iran to the Muslim government in Sarajevo. That policy, personally approved by Bill Clinton in April 1994 at the urging of CIA Director-designate (and then-NSC chief) Anthony Lake and the U.S. ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith, has, according to the Los Angeles Times (citing classified intelligence community sources), "played a central role in the dramatic increase in Iranian influence in Bosnia."

I hope this gets picked up by the "mainstream" media. But I'm not betting on it

Think about the muslims from Kosovo who came to the US when they were "cleansed." Wonder if anyone's tracking their activities.
