THE BALKANS: Al Qaeda Radio Station in Bosnia
March 3, 2004: Also from Bosnia: Bosnian Islamic Radio Naba (yes, it exists) ran a series of statements about the attacks on Shias in Baghdad and Karbala, Iraq, that sound like propaganda straight from Al Qaeda. Here’s one of the statements: “There is no doubt whatsoever that suicide or any other terrorist attacks on Shiites in Baghdad and Karbala are the doing of US intelligence services. For, how else can there be an explanation for the footage of the explosions being broadcast to the world almost live, as a sensation of the first order?...However, the message and the conclusion are painfully clear: the most important thing now is to create a rift between Iraq's Shiites and Sunnis, open a new internal Muslim front where Muslim youth will get killed daily, thus exhaust themselves and weaken themselves. At the same time, the US will be exhausting Iraqi oil reserves and transferring its oil to the USA.” Radio Naba’s agitprop doesn’t stop there. The Islamist radio service also suggested the US was behind the death of Macedonia’s president. Is this an example of a “coordinated” Al Qaeda information campaign? Not necessarily– but it is an example of how a “network of the faithful” can magnify the worst lies.
