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.

Nice spin, Hoppie, but apparently even CIA Director Tenet acknowledges their significance:

"U.S and other international forces are most at risk in Bosnia, where Islamic extremists from outside the region played an important role in the ethnic conflicts of the 1990s," Tenet said..."

Gee, so maybe it wasn't ALL Slobo's fault after all. Duh.

9/11 exposed 19(+few) extrimists. 500 can produce 25 9/11-style actions. Scaling to the size of Yugoslavia, the impact may be estimated like 400 to 600 times 9/11.
