The Bosniaks war time leader, Alija Izetbegovic, and his allies in Bosnia, were fishing around in Islamic countries in the early 1980's. Izetbegovic was jailed around 1983 for several years for his anti-Yugoslav activities. When he got out he started where he left off. He, and several others who eventually acquired leadership positions before the war started, were wanting an independent Muslim state all along - and already trying to kick it off not long after Tito died.

Remember the Bosnian Muslims and Croats always choose the outside invading force and fought for them (Germans and Austrians) during WWI and WWII.

Yup. And this time all they had to do was sit back and let the conduct of the JNA and Serb paramilitaries push the West into the Muslims' camp.

The Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia also chose the Axis.
