You are doing nothing more than overreaching in an attempt to prove something convenient to you, but that has no factual basis. Let's go look at the article you linked to three times.

"To support their terrorism, they skimmed money from a charity for Muslim orphans in Albania and robbed an Italian diplomat's home in Jordan."

Nennsy, Albania was in desperate shape after the overtrow of the totalitarian regime. We needed all the help we could get. Some criminal as well as terrorist organizations tried to take advantage of this.
However once we realized who the men behind some of these "charities" were, it was taken care of:

"In what became known here as "the trial of the Albanian returnees," the court convicted 87 people and sentenced 10 of them to death, including Dr. Zawahiri, who was tried in absentia"

This is what OBL claimed the attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were in return for, the 10 "Albanian returnees".

Also, the Albanian police knew how to handle AlQaeda"

"There have also been reports that the police in Albania used torture to extract confessions from suspects arrested there"

As for your other allegation:

" a Serb terrorism expert, Darko Trifunovic, has told SRNA."

That's all I need to see. This is nothing more than circular logic and self-reinforcing delusion. If these forums are an indication of anything, it is that many Serbs have an unnatural disdain of Albanians and a vested interest in tying them to America's enemies. After all you all keep saying "you have powerful allies, we'll wait". Your attempts to tie Albania and Kosova to AlQaeda are nothing more than attempts to precipitate the situation.

BIN LADEN RUNS TERRORIST NETWORK, REPORT SAYS

"LONDON - The man accused of orchestrating the U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa operates a terrorist network out of Albania, The Sunday Times reported.

"The newspaper quoted Fatos Klosi, the head of the Albanian intelligence service, as saying a network run by Saudi exile Osama Bin Laden sent units to fight in the Serbian province of Kosovo.

"Bin Laden is believed to have established an Albanian operation in 1994 after telling the government he headed a wealthy Saudi humanitarian agency wanting to help Albania, the newspaper reported.

"Klosi said he believed terrorists had already infiltrated other parts of Europe from bases in Albania. Apparent confirmation of Bin Laden's activities came earlier this month during the murder trial of Claude Kader, 27, a French national who said he was a member of Bin Laden's Albanian network, the newspaper said.

"Kader claimed during the trial he had visited Albania to recruit and arm fighters for Kosovo.

Now now Shiptari. We know Al-KLaeda has a history of dealing and distributing heroin in Afghanistan, as the KLA is a major mover of heroin. both are proven facts courtesy of Interpol

It is called turf war, ever hear of it? The OBL squad moving in on the Alb territory, cutting into profits=gang warfare.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist, Einstein, to figure that out.

Your turn HotShot!
