PODGORICA, Serbia-Montenegro --

Police seized a truckload of weapons in Bioce, a town near Podgorica, local media reported on Thursday (9 March). Some reports suggest the material was headed to the Middle East, others suggest Albania. Serbia-Montenegro Army Chief of Staff General Ljubisa Jokic confirmed that the weapons were confiscated, but stressed that the transaction by the Jugoimport-Mont company, a mediator in arms sales, was legal. Another official said that while the necessary paperwork was issued, the problem arose when the company changed the vehicle and personnel transporting the weapons.

What are your best guesses for which countries the weapons were headed?

Oh fiddle! Is it too much to ask, "Why are these folks importing weapons?"

I thought we had a potload of UN and U.S. military folks handling the "peacekeeping" function.

Actually, it's a 50/50 shot as whether they were heading to the Middle East or more than likely, preparing for Albanian terrorist activities in Macedonia and Southern Presevo. The independence issue is key to their operations that are planned for disrupting Macedonia and future ops against Serbian authority in South Presevo. South Presevo is already referred to as Eastern Kosovo by the rebels.

While I was there, there was a recruting effort by Imams with the Islamic Charities to recruit fighters for the Islamic side against U.S. Forces........

reference my post to Joan. The Albanian terrorist with Al Qaeda members are planning Operations against Macedonian and Serbian forces. The idea is to separate the Western part of Macedonia and also achieve a division of Albanian regions in Southern Presevo when the time is right.

There is also an unclear but obvious relationship between Albanian terrorism and the "international forces", we shall say. Remember, the Clinton Administration brought Islamic fighters to the Balkans during his presidency to fight the Serbs. You can draw your own conclusions from that.............

UN and US handling the peacekeeping function....??? The Serbs have been ethnically cleansed since 1999. The Albanian Mafia has been operating and flourishing ever since.
