This is ignorance plain and simple - the Serbs went to war with their memories of the "Turks" in Bosnia in 1992, and during that conflict Al Quaeda set up fund raising operations skimming off of charities while the Iranians did the heavy lifting as far as supplying foreign fighters.

Al Qaeda associated with Jihad organizations already there (source), and recruited from them instead of setting up it's own cells, so any talk of Osama's involvement in Bosnia is based upon something other than fact.

Anyway, now Serbian Special Forces, the same guys who are still protecting Ratko Mladic to this day and can't even figure out who buried the Kosovar Albanians in their own training grounds, (well, that's not true - they know but they're fatally compromised as far as being a reputable source of anything other than self serving B.S.) report a supposed meeting of Islamic Radicals in Travnik to www.rosbalt.com, a Russian news agency (and now apparently to strana.ru), this is somehow picked up by the drones at Stratfor.com and turned into a breaking news event.

Quite simply, it's a third hand lie until confirmed by a better source.

We need to be going after legitimate intelligence leads in our fight against Al Quaeda and it's affiliates rather than following the rants of the losers in the Balkan wars with any seriousness - some on FR were pushing the lie that some of the hijackers were Bosnian after 9/11. Had anyone in an investigative position heeded this story, how much critical time would have been wasted chasing figments of someone's warped agenda instead of piecing the actual story together? Just be forewarned, you cannot make good decisions with bad information.

...the Serbs went to war with their memories of the "Turks" in Bosnia in 1992...

The Serbs had to live for 500 years under muslim ottoman occupation. They freed themselves of the islam suppression, went further through two bloody world wars the last century and did not want to be ripped apart as a nation and ruled by muslims again in 1992. As they were refused the right to self-determination in 1992 and stripped of their constitutional rights as Yugoslav citizens, they went to war. The bosnian muslims declared war on the serbs in 1992 as mentioned above - the serbs faught for their rights and established their own republic. Unification with the Serbia will follow - sooner or later!

Who are you to tell the serbs, they have to live under muslim domination. Why don't YOU emigrate to a muslim country, if you admire islam so much and defend it here everywhere you can on Freerepublic!?
