The link doesn't work for me. You have a direct link to the German language version of the article?
And elsewhere no doubt.

You did better than Babelfish. There are some interesting things here.
Good post!

And Bill Clinton helped them achieve their ends. They couldn't have done it without him.
What sort of American would have supported Al Qaeda in their efforts? Other than the first two on this ping, of course. Dhimmitude is as dhimmitude does.
Outstanding post, and your English is far better than most any of us could do in German!
But could you ask the moderator to properly title this as "White al Qaeda in Bosnia", so that this post gets the attention that it deserves? Even I wasn't sure what the title was saying as it is written. I only read the post becuase it said "Bosnia".
For example, one such group about which details have come to light is the Third World Relief Agency (TWRA), a Sudan-based, phoney humanitarian organization which has been a major link in the arms pipeline to Bosnia. ["How Bosnia's Muslims Dodged Arms Embargo: Relief Agency Brokered Aid From Nations, Radical Groups," Washington Post, 9/22/96; see also "Saudis Funded Weapons For Bosnia, Official Says: $300 Million Program Had U.S. 'Stealth Cooperation'," Washington Post, 2/2/96] TWRA is believed to be connected with such fixtures of the Islamic terror network as Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman (the convicted mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing) and Osama Binladen, a wealthy Saudi emigre believed to bankroll numerous militant groups. [WP, 9/22/96] (Sheik Rahman, a native of Egypt, is currently in prison in the United States; letter bombs addressed to targets in Washington and London, apparently from Alexandria, Egypt, are believed connected with his case. Binladen was a resident in Khartoum, Sudan, until last year; he is now believed to be in Afghanistan, "where he has issued statements calling for attacks on U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf." [WP, 9/22/96])
This shows that the Bosnian government and its entire leadership, including Alija Izetbegovic, was criminal and permitted torture and mutilation.
This former Mujahideen says they were officially to obey the Bosnian army, but that the army was permissive and didn't complain about their killing methods.
"Our route led via Frankfurt to Zagreb, Split and from there via Mostar into Bosnia. Croats and Bosnians let us pass"
It also shows how Croatia (a Catholic country) helped bring these people into the Balkans. The Bosnian Croats would later be on the receiving end of some of the torture, killings and mutilations of the Mujahideen. Only then did the Croats mind - but if the Mujahideens had kept only to murdering Serbs it would have been A-O.K. for the Croats.
Too bad that in the interview they didn't ask him about specific battles/skirmishes/raids he partook in - the when, where (exactly), estimated killed, civilians/army ratio, men/women, elderly/children, etc. This would be helpful about identifying any mass graves too. Likely some of the bodies the Serbs could not bury are claimed to be Muslims when discovered.
Read how the Catholics helped bring the Mujahideen to Bosnia.
Doesn't it make you mad how the western propaganda portrayed the Bosnian Muslim leadership as moderates when they permitted torture and killings with chainsaws - and they had hundreds of their own homegrown Mujahideen involved too in the slicing and dicing and decapitating of Serbs.
What makes me maddest is that here we sit, 15 years later, in the US threatened by the same forces that the Serbs fought, and our own US government is still supporting these Islamists in hotbeds like Bosnia and Kosovo while claiming to be "fighting the war on terror". That is what really burns me -- along with the Globalist NGO morons who have our government officials' ear and who claim that these bizarre policies are in "the US' best interests" And our elected government listens to them and not to us!
Title changed to draw more readers per request.
Ihr Englisch ist einwandfrei.
Danke. Ein paar Leute haben mir schon Tips gegeben. Hier zu schreiben erweitert auf jeden Fall das Vokabular.
You're welcome. Yes, this place is great for learning. It sure does expand one's vocabulary (general as well as political) and people are always willing to help.
I speak/read/write Serbian and English. I am learning German... trying to, at least. :)
Regards!
Pretty soon the usual suspects will turn up to denounce this interview as Serb propaganda, and tell us that the Serbs weren't fighting against Islamic terrorism. Quite frankly, I'm surprised there aren't already posts to that effect on the thread.
