"apro, you do not "remember correctly". Despite your eagerness for such an event to happen, no U.S. military personnel have been killed in Bosnia or Kosovo due to hostile action. Period. Hasn't happened despite the presence of tens of thousands of Americans for years and years."
Oh but mark502inf, I don't remember telling you they were "U.S. military personnel", now did I? They were American service women & man, part of the United Nations police service in Kosovo. So no, it isn't my eagerness for such an event to have happened, its an unfortunate fact that it DID happen. Unless, like I said, you do not consider the blood of these three Americans as being "killed by terrorists in the Balkans".
"PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro - Authorities are investigating whether a Jordanian U.N. policeman who killed three American corrections officers in a gunbattle at a Kosovo prison had links to the Palestinian militant group Hamas, a senior NATO official said."

"Officials investigating the bizarre incident said yesterday that Ali had links to the Palestinian militant group Hamas, but they stopped short of calling the ambush an act of terrorism."
"Ali, a member of the Jordanian special police unit, smiled as he blazed away with an M-16 rifle. He was shot to death during an ensuing gun battle."

Oh, I'm sorry is this considered a "friendly" fire incedent? ;p
"the Greek November 17th terrorists have in fact attacked and killed Americans in Greece."
At least November 17th terrorists are no more. Unfortunately the same can not be said about Bosnians & Kosovo Muslims attacking and killing Americans and other Westerners in Iraq as we speak. ;p
As this report below points out the reason we haven't seen as many bloody attacks on us by them YET in those Banana Republics is because of the "eyes and ears" we have on ground over there. Unfortunately it isn't a question of IF American blood will be spilled by them again over there but WHEN.
"SARAJEVO, Bosnia -- The raid netted explosives, rifles, other arms and a videotape pledging vengeance for the "brothers" killed fighting Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq. Police found the cache in an apartment occupied by an underground group that was aiming to blow up the British Embassy in Sarajevo, Western intelligence officials said."
"After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States, the CIA and other foreign agencies set up a joint, fortified headquarters to keep tabs on terrorism suspects in Bosnia, a Western intelligence source in Sarajevo said."

The ironic thing about the news report above that was JUST released confirms what Bosnian-born columnist Nebojsa Malic has been saying all along. Western apologists for Bosnia continue to deny any terrorist links - at their own peril. As it is pointed out by Nebojsa Malic the confirmed existence of several Islamic terrorist organizations in Bosnia, as well as suspicious Saudi influenced and the Islamic propaganda of Bosnia’s former president, Ali Izetbegovic.

DAMN, those Serbs are SO good at spreading propaganda against those Bosnian Muslims. They planted evidence for Italian and Croation police to find against five Bosnian Muslims regarding a bomb plot during the Pope's funeral; they had Abdelmajid Bouchar, a key suspect in the March 2004 bombings of Madrid, seek refugee in Bosnia or Kosovo after the fact; Oh and look they even had Bosnian citizens themselves arrested in terror plots:
"The Sarajevo arrests changed that perception. A Bosnian Interior Ministry official, Robert Cvrtak, released the names of four detainees from the raid: Cesur Abdulkadir, who is of Turkish heritage; Mirsad Bektasevic, a Swedish citizen of Bosnian origin; and Bajro Ikanovic and Almir Bajric, both Bosnian citizens. Among their activities, Bosnian police said, were hiding explosives inside lemons and tennis balls and trying to set up training camps in the hills near Sarajevo. Police officials here say Bektasevic, 19, also ran a Web site on behalf of Abu Musab Zarqawi, the Jordanian who heads the insurgent group al Qaeda in Iraq. He had pictures of the White House in his computer, they added."
YIKES! A Bosnian Zarqawi fan...barfff. Maybe someone should tell him Clintoon support his people during the war. ;p
