Look CobaltBlue, how your Bosnian Handshar-Mudshahedin friends say "THANK YOU":

"Some U.S. offices abroad closed for security

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Consulate General in Osaka, Japan, closed Wednesday after employees received a suspicious letter, and the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo also decided to close because of a 'credible security threat,' State Department spokesman Phil Reeker said. He would not discuss details of the threat.

He said the letter was turned over to police for testing, and employees who handled it were taking antibiotics. The consulate, which covers the Osaka-Kobe district, will remain closed Thursday, but is providing emergency services. Reeker said he knew of no other similar incidents at U.S. posts.

Security at the embassy in the Balkans is being evaluated, Reeker told reporters. Also closed as a precaution were U.S. offices in the Bosnia-Herzegovina cities of Banja Luka and Mostar, including the office of the U.S. Agency for International Development in Tuzla. Some other posts were closed overseas Wednesday as they evaluated their security procedures, Reeker said. He said embassies and consulates were given guidance on beefing up security, especially at the 200 posts where visas are issued."

CobaltBlue, tell me why the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo had been closed and the one in Belgrade not? (Americans dropped bombs on this christian city!)

What does The Canadian Ottawa Citizen mean by saying that Bosnian Muslim Nasir Oric's Mudshahedin paramilitaries committed "the most barbaric atrocities of the [Bosnian] war"? The Japanese photo journalist Yasunari Mizuguchi took photos of this crimes, which were sent to Anthony Lewis in March, 1995:

"The photo above right shows the most grotesque Muslim war crime in Bosnia—roasting POWs. Photos of several roasted Serb soldiers taken by Japanese photo journalist Yasunari Mizuguchi, were sent to Anthony Lewis in March, 1995—a retraction was never made. The castration and forced circumcision of hundreds of Serb POWs ranks among the most repugnant of war crimes—these physical mutilations of Serb victims were never made public by CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, nor any major U.S. newspaper. If the American people had been told the truth from the beginning, American GI’s would not be in Bosnia today. According to the Washington Post, American ‘Special Forces’ are in “110 hot spots around the world.” It is time we start asking why and by what Constitutional authority."
