Al Qaeda was allowed to build up in the Balkans a central logistical base for operations in Europe, from which the Hamburg cell later derived back-up for plotting the 9/11 attacks against America.
Is this a theory or a known fact? If the latter, I don't think it is known by many.

Keep in mind that this is from DEBKA which has proven itself wrong more often than right. However, Destro might be be interested in this tidbit.
