US policewoman said killed in Kosovo jail shooting

Sat 17 April, 2004 15:49

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Serbia and Montenegero, April 17 (Reuters) - Shooting has broken out at a prison in the northern Kosovo town of Mitrovica with a female U.S. police officer left lying motionless on the ground, a Reuters witness has said.

United Nations sources in the U.N. administered province said there were reports that a Moroccan police officer or prison security guard had opened fire on Saturday and that at least one American had been killed.

Another report said it was a Pakistani policeman or prison guard who had opened fire.

Other reports said there were two dead and several injured.

The deputy director at the health centre in Mitrovica, Milan Ivanovic, told reporters six U.N. police officers had been wounded, and five were in very serious condition.

"One international American policewoman is in a very critical condition," he added.

The Reuters witness said no ambulances stopped to pick the body of a the second U.S. policewoman which was covered with a coat.

He saw American members of the United Nations police force moving cautiously into the grounds of the district prison and cafeteria as ambulances and senior officers rushed to the scene.

I'm really kind of surprised that there hasn't been an organized movement by the radical Muslims to destabilize this region. With most our attention...and troops, focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, this would seem to be a perfect time for them to make some noise.

Just as a matter of conversation, wasn't the reason Clinton intervened in that area in essence to stop the ethnic cleansing of Albanians (Muslims)? So I wonder, if Muslims start trying to "destabilize" the reason, would President Bush be as sympathetic towards them as was President Clinton?

They didn't have to...The U.S. did it for them...They (and we) ran out most of the Serbs...The drug running muslims have burned most all of the Christian Churches...And now they killed an American woman who thought she could police these killers...

The muslims used to be a minority in that place...Now, they own it...

>p>Dont know if you have been reading the norwegian papers lately but on 07 April Scandinavias biggest armed robbery occured in stavanger with one police man dead. The robbers are Kosovo albanians living in Norway and Sweden or the infamous Albanian league.

The norwegians found an abandoned military leir they were using to prepare for the robbery and found the outdoor toilet. They dna analyzed the shit they found there and have dna profiles.

There have been a number of other armed robberies in Norway and it appears that they same guys are responsible.

I only remember the sentiment here during the war in Kosovo. Those poor Albanians!!! hahahahaha

Three arrested in Gothenburg

Three men aged 23-30 were arrested in a raid by Swedish police in Gothenburg on Tuesday afternoon. The men are wanted in connection with the Norsk Kontantservice (NOKAS) cash transport service bank robbery in the western port city of Stavanger where a Norwegian police officer was shot to death. All of the men are said to have links to a notorious Albanian robbery league in Sweden.

They will in all likelihood be extradited to Norway shortly, according to Swedish police. Although the brutal and tightly organized robbery appeared to be the work of the same gang that left no clues behind at a similar heist at Oslo's central post office last autumn, this time evidence appears to have been found at various sites.

One of the getaway cars set ablaze on the outskirts of Stavanger reportedly helped police track some of the robbery band to Sweden. >p>A burnt-out silver-gray Saab turned out to have been stopped by Norwegian highway police a few days before the bank job in Stavanger. This vehicle was traced to a rental firm in Gothenburg and their security videotapes were screened. Police recognized several hardened criminals from Albanian circles in Sweden on the tape. Swedish police stopped one of the Albanian gang linked to the Saab on Tuesday. He claimed to have been in Stockholm, but police found a map of Stavanger in his car. Stavanger police said that cooperation with colleagues in Sweden would continue. According to Aftenposten's information, at least two more suspects are under investigation there. NOKAS has offered a reward of NOK 1 million (USD 144,000) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those behind the Stavanger robbery.

Besides the banks they hit the main post office in the national capital? Man, talk about brazeness....

...or maybe they don't think they have much to be afraid of.

Albanians commited more than 1000 armed robberies in Spain in 1999-2001 and chances are they were linked with Madrid AQ cell.

Yet, it is no news for mainstream media, nor anyone bothers to connect the dots.

Norway's largest heroin haul ever

16. Mai 2004

Late Saturday the Oslo police seized more than 60 kilos of heroin.This is the largest seizure of herion ever made in Norway.

Several persons in Norway with Albanian background have been arrested.

According to NRK, it was in the search for persons in connection with the brutal Stavanger bank robbery that the police uncovered the heroin.

Four days ago the first of four persons wanted by the police for the robbery was detained, and those arrested on Saturday belonged to his circle of aquaintances.

The group of criminals with Albaninan background is one of several criminal groups in Oslo which is now under heavy pressure by the police, NRK reports.

Yes, the Norwegians have been culturally enriched by Kosovo Albanians. Some of the most violent crime and robberies ever experienced.

I am not a Norwegian but a Serbian American subsea oilfield engineer. I was disappointed that the Norwegians forgot that more Serbs died here in the resistance struggle than Norwegians in WW II during the war in Kosovo. All they did was lament about the poor albanians and now they have 4000 and are desperate to get rid of them because they are, as the justice minister said, a threat to national security.

Do the Norwegians now have anything to say about Serbs? Was there any news on the recent violence in Kosovo and attacks on churches and monasteries?
