Albanians Gangs: The New Islamic Mafia

24.2.2007 by CrniLabudovi.

Das soll eine Hardcore Thread werden, wo nur echte neue Informationen, über die Amerikanische, Albanische oder Serbische Mafia und deren Zusammenarbeit mit dem Netzwerk von Bin Laden und im Drogen- und Menschenschmuggel dokumentiert wird.

Die Zusammenarbeit der Kosovaren Mafia UCK-KPC-KLA unter Agim Ceku und deren Politiker wie Hashim Thaci, wird gut dokumentiert in Quellen wie Spiegel oder GIS! Peinlicherweise bezahlt die UN, und damit der Deutsche Steuerzahler bis heute die Gehälter der Kosovaren Verbrecher und diese Leute im Bin Laden Terror Netz.

Man beachte die Information über die Festnahme des Mazedoniers Daut Kadriovski. Enttarnt wurde D.K. trotz Gesichts Operation (siehe auch der Rugova Freund der Drogen Papst Drobosi), vom Englischen Geheimdienst und unter dem falschen Namen Mehmet Ahmeti, wurde er in seinem Hotel in Golem bei Durres-Albanien im September 2001 festgenommen. (verwandt mit dem Politik Führer und Bin Laden Freund Ahmet Ahmeti-Mazedonien, der lange auf der Terroristen Liste der USA stand)!
Man beachte auch, das Albanische Transport Unternehmen, die bekanntesten Bin Laden Führer wie Abu al Zawkavi transportieren und als Courier, für Al-Qudia arbeiten. Die Verbindung direkt zu Top Albanischen Regierungs Mitgliedern ist im CIA Fact Buch festgehalten und durch die Hochhäuser des Bin Laden Finaciers: Yassin Kadi in Tirana gut dokumentiert.

The New Islamic Mafia

By M. Bozinovich
FBI has recently announced that ethnic Albanian gangs, including immigrants from Kosovo, are replacing the Italian La Cosa Nostra mafia as the leading organized crime outfit in the US. According to a CNN report the FBI “Officials said ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro” make up the emerging American criminal cartel and “represent a major challenge to federal agents because of their propensity for violence and brutality.” This statement comes several months after Amnesty International declared NATO-administered Kosovo province a hotbed of organized crime activity.
In Europe, the Albanian Mob is already the chief perpetrator of drug and people smuggling, passport theft and forgery, weapons and human body parts sales, sex-slavery, abductions, murders… The scope, ferocity and intensity of the Albanian criminal activity has prompted the Italian top prosecutor, Cataldo Motta, to declare Albanians most dangerous mobsters brandishing them in 2000 “a threat to Western society.”
While the skimpiness of the FBI statement may be a subtle illustration of its lack of hard operational intelligence on the emerging Albanian criminal network in the US, the displacement of La Cosa Nostra by ethnic Albanians may be a seminole event in the American criminal underworld history for yet another reason: a predominantly Catholic Mafia is being replaced by a predominantly Muslim Albanian Fis.
Although no hard links with terrorists have been found yet, the FBI believes that the emerging Muslim Albanian Mafia in the US may be implicated in terrorist financing hence FBIs continuing surveillance “to see whether the militant Muslims in the emerging organized crime world demonstrate ties to organizations suspected of involvement in terrorist financing”.

Albanian teenager Valentina Bicaku vanished from her home in Albania. More than 30,000 Albanian girls and young women are kidnapped and auctioned off into a world of prostitution in Europe.

Evolution of the Criminal Network
During the 1970s Albanian expatriates in the US were actively recruited as couriers, transporters or assassins for the Italian Mafia. The efficiency and brutality with which these members conducted these criminal affairs got them to advance within the Mafia network, so much so, that by 1996 the main assassins for the Gambino crime family were ethnic Albanians. Gambino’s Sammy Bull Brovano’s go-to “clipper”, for example, was an ethnic Albanian, Zef Mustafa, whose notoriety for murder and racket was exceeded only by his love of alcohol: drunk from dawn, in a 1996-02 span this Albanian organized a $19 million internet heist, was let out on a $5 million bond and has since disappeared from the US.
A 1996 murder of a waiter, Jonathon Segal, and a bouncer, Michael Greco, in New York’s Scores restaurant illustrates the indifference and haste with which Albanian assassins kill: two ethnic Albanians employed as Gambino family assassins opened fire on the waiter and bouncer after instigating an argument over quality of service they got in the restaurant.

Ismail Lika, pictured on the right with long sleeves, in Florida jail posing with convicted ethnic Serb, Nikola Kavaja. Dubbed the king of the New York drug underworld, Ismail Lika issued a contract on Guiliani’s prosecutors in 1985. Kavaja was serving a sentence for attempted assassination of Yugoslav communist dictator Tito.

While employment with Italian Mafia gave these ethnic Albanians valuable experience in the art of a criminal heist, 1980s was also a decade of clandestine criminal initiatives that are to lead into bigger and more spectacular ones later. In 1985, for example, a now-famous Rudolph Guiliani led a persecution team of the Balkan Connection - an ethnic Albanian criminal outfit involved in trafficking heroin from Afghanistan and Turkey, via Kosovo into US. Caught with at least $125 million in heroin, members of this Albanian smuggling outfit issued a $400,000 contract on the prosecutor Alan Cohen and the detective Jack Delemore, both placed under protective custody as the result.
Even fellow mobsters are afraid to do business with the Albanian gangs. Speaking anonymously for Philadelphia’s City Paper a member of the “Kielbasa Posse”, an ethnic Polish mob group, declared in 2002 that Poles are willing to do business with “just about anybody. Dominicans. Blacks. Italians. Asian street gangs. Russians. But they won’t go near the Albanian mob. The Albanians are too violent and too unpredictable.”
While FBI concurs with the brutality assessment, the difficulty in obtaining operational intelligence on the Albanian mafia, and any convictions, may be multifold. Dusan Janjic, Coordinator of the Forum for Ethnic Relations in Serbia, cites three reasons for the success of the Albanian criminal gangs: “Firstly they speak a language that few people [sic] understand. Secondly, its internal organization is based on family ties, breeding solidarity and safety. Thirdly there is the code of silence and it is perfectly normal for somebody to die if he violates the code.”
Culture of Violence
According to the Institute of War and Peace Reporting, “Honour killings are deeply rooted in Albanian society and were given formal recognition in the collection of medieval tribal laws known as the ‘Canon of Lekë Dukagjini’” and still remains the organizing structure of the Albanian society. “…blood feuds were relatively rare among Albanians either in Kosovo or Albania. But after the turmoil of the 1990s, the ideas contained in Leke’s canon revived,” writes Fatos Bytyci.
The fundamental rule of Canon law of Albanian clansman organization is Bessa - a concept that simultaneously converges loyalty, fidelity, dignity and honor of one’s word. Although restrictive, the concept is such a prevalent force in the Albanian culture so that it got enshrined in many of Albanian folksongs:
“death happens because you betrayed a host,
when bread is missing to serve the host,
death happens for the faith renounced.”
Gjakmarria or taking of the blood is the vendetta killing done in order to restore the violated honor.
Loyalty to the family clan (fis) and vendettas appear to be mutually affectionate features of both the Italian and Albanian gangsters. Much like Sicilian social emphasis on family loyalty, writes the Italy’s anti-mafia agency DIA, these mutually alike features are outgrowth of a general social construct and not necessarily criminal. “Albanian mafia is based on family groups… The division among clans or family groups in Albania was originally a social division, not a criminal one. Today, every activity in Albania still works in that way.”
In the field of politics, however, the fear of the Canon’s consequences is plunging Albania, an increasingly Kosovo, into a seismic convulsion of lawlessness.
Albanian Parliament in Tirana has recently addressed the close connection between the criminal and political. According to the Albanian Daily News, in July of 2004, the Albanian government has adopted a package of anti-mafia legislation and among the provisions is a prohibition of officials convicted of corruption from holding public office for a specified period of time.
However, according to an Albanian writer Faruk Myrtaj: “Not a single trial of a criminal gang has successfully been completed in Albania. According to the data of the Albanian Centre for Studying Organized Crime and Mafia in Tirana, trials of groups linked to politics are usually held behind closed doors by decision of the courts, and the judges usually resign and emigrate from the country”, presumably out of fear of being killed acording to the Canon law that grips the Albanian society.
So much for Albania’s efforts to curb organized crime.

Dangerous Hybrid - Kosovo Albanian Dobrosi was serving 14 year sentence in Norway and in 1997 bribed the guard with 150,000 Norwegian crowns, fled to Croatia, where he underwent plastic surgery to change his appearance, then moved to Prague where, according to the Czech daily Lidove Noviny met the President of Kosovo, Ibrahim Rugova, during his visit of Prague in December 1998. In 1999 Czech Police arrested Dobrosi, along with another Kosovo Albanian gangster for drug trafficking and trafficking with light-infantry weapons and rocket systems.

Political-Criminal Hybrid
According to research by a leading criminologist in France, Xavier Raufer, “In the Albanian world - in Albania and in Kosovo and in the Albanian-populated part of Macedonia - you have clans and in those clans you have a mix of young men fighting for the cause of national liberation, young men belonging to the mafia, young men driving their cousins or other girls from the village into prostitution. It’s absolutely impossible to distinguish between them…. The guys are liberation fighters by day and sell heroin by night or vice versa”.
The political-criminal hybrid structure based on the frightening Canon structures of clan membership is defining the Albanian political landscape in the Balkans as well.
For example, the leader of the Albanians in Macedonia, Ali Ahmeti, is a nephew of Fazli Veliu, former chief of an Albanian language newspaper in Kosovo and a cofounder of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Both are from the same village near Kicevo, Macedonia, and both belong to the Zajas clan. Before leading a military insurgency in Macedonia, Ahmeti was employed as a KLA operative out of Switzerland, from where he was moved to Macedonia when times were ripe to lead the Albanian violence there.

Albright giving a friendly hug to the KLA leader Hasim Taci

In turn, Veliu is close to the Albanian Jashari clan from Kosovo, known to be the first to start the armed uprising against Milosevic’s repression. Main victims in the disputed Racak massacre were members from the Jashari clan as is Hasim Taci, a youthful political spokesman for an Albanian para-military (KLA) group with suspicious criminal biography yet befriended by Clinton’s foreign policy team, most notably Madeline Albright, Richard Holbrooke and Wesley Clark.
Many, including the U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee in 1999, have accentuated widespread allegations of KLAs criminal connections. Citing that a “major portion of the KLA finances are derived from [criminal] network, mainly proceeds from drug trafficking” the report goes on to say that Clinton’s befriending of the shady Albanian political men is “consistent Clinton policy of cultivating relationships with groups known for terrorist violence… in what may be a strategy of attempting to wean away a group from its penchant for violence by adopting its cause as an element of U.S. policy.”

Unofficial taxation of Albanians - Allegations are made that the Albanian Mafia in America is acting as a collection arm for the war aims of the Albanian political groups. Christian Science Monitor, for example, cited a case of Agim Jusufi, a building superintendent on Manhattan’s West Side. Mr. Jusufi gets a weekly paycheck. He describes himself as an ordinary ‘working man.’” yet he wrote a $5,000 check for the KLA. “We have canceled checks to prove it,’ he told the Monitor.

While the Republican Report cites New York Times’ version of the origins of the KLA to be a “radical fringe of Kosovar Albanian politics, originally made up of diehard Marxist” the clan structure indicates that this may be a deliberate fabrication. Claims are made that 15 leading family clans in Albania (15 fis) have been controlling a clandestine smuggling operations even during the dark communist days of dictator Enver Hoxa. When Albania got rid of the communist, these fis increased their criminal control of Albania and, during the collapse of the Albanian state into anarchy in 1997, the 15 fis established complete control over the criminal activity in Albania including arms smuggling. Motivated by fear of inter-fis blood feuds over a limited Balkan criminal turf, the 15 fis allegedly made a deal to make a common para-military enforcement unit, the KLA, in order to incite violence in Kosovo with dual objectives, to make money financing the war as well as conquer Albanian-inhabited areas of the Balkans.

Daut Kadriovski

The most prominent criminal out of the 15 fis is Daut Kadriovski, a drug kingpin that managed to escape German prison in 1993, and is believed to be in the US where sources say he is operating through several types of businesses in New York and Philadelphia.
Albanian Mafia and al-Qaeda?
Allegations of an al-Qaeda presence in Albanian inhabited areas have also been made. For example, 24 Wahabi mosques and 14 orphanages have been built in Kosovo since 1999, along with 98 primary and secondary Wahabi funded schools. The chief Albanian Imam in Kosovo has been schooled in the Wahabi doctrine in Saudi Arabia and is of vital political importance to the party of the Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova.
Wahabism is the chief spiritual source of the al-Qaeda terrorists.
More distressing for the West is the existing Albanian criminal infrastructure that has been exported out of Kosovo into Europe, and given clan connections, may infiltrate the US.
In Brussells, for example, two Islamic city quarters - one specializing in terrorism and the other in false and stolen passports - complement one another. In the terrorist part is the Dar Salaam hotel where the accused “shoe bomber” Richard Reid stayed in for 10 days plotting to blow up American Airlines jet, while just across from the hotel is a shadowy Brussels strip of bars and hotels controlled by the Albanian mob specializing in stolen passports. According to the Global Policy, the quarter is a hotbed for “human trafficking, sex trafficking and false documents.”
Although Richard Reed did not carry any of the Albanian doctored false passports, the al-Qaeda assassins of the Ahmed Shah Massoud did. The killers of the leader of Afghan’s Northern Alliance traveled from London to Karachi using these Albanian doctored false passports before they murdered him.
More ominously still, an al-Qaeda operative, Djamel Beghala, was arrested in Dubai after the customs agent recognized one of these Albanian mafia’s manufactured false passports. Under interrogation, Beghala identified a major European al-Qaeda cell that was planning to blow up the United States Embassy in Paris.
Recently, FBI conducted a statistical study on effectiveness of false passports and concluded that at least 10% of the falsified passports have effectively been used to enter the US. Given that 30 million people enter US, Albanian Mafia’s monopoly on false documentation may indeed justify FBIs continuing surveillance of the emerging Albanian criminal cartel.

Entrance-level job for al-Qaeda -Before becoming kingpins of the American underworld, many ethnic Albanian mobsters got their organized crime initiation as couriers for the Italian Mafia. Fox News analyst, Manossor Ijaz, claims that ethnic Albanians now hold an entry-level courier position for al-Qaeda as well: “… President Bush said in October of last year when he identified a senior al Qaeda leader [Abu Masab al-Zawkawi] who had gone to Iraq, received medical treatment to have a leg amputated that was blown up in the Afghan bombing campaign and then proceeded to a northern Iraqi terrorist outfit. What we have not yet heard and this is what my sources are telling me over the past two or three days, is that that leader was in fact, transported through southern Turkey using Albanian mercenaries to transport him into…”

The New Islamic Mafia
Yossef Bodansky, director of the House Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, believes that Albanian Mob itself will not commit acts of terrorism but that their criminal infrastructure will aid al-Qaeda. “The role of the Albanian Mafia, which is tightly connected to the KLA, is laundering money, providing technology, safe houses, and other support to terrorists within this country,” Bodansky explained to The New American. “This isn’t to say that the Albanians themselves would carry out the actual terrorist operations. But there are undoubtedly ‘sleeper’ agents within the Albanian networks, and they can rely upon those networks to provide them with support. In any case, a serious investigation of the Albanian mob isn’t going to happen, because they’re ‘our boys’ - they’re protected.”
In fact, in 2002 the government of Macedonia submitted to the CIA a 79-page report on al-Qaeda-Albanian activity in the Balkans, including an al-Qaeda recruitment video aimed at Albanian conscripts touting hate for Christians, Jews, and the West. The video was hosted by an ethnic Turk, Ramzi Adem, who was demonstrating Balkan activities of an elite 120-man foreign fighters unit led by Selimi Ferit, an Albanian born in the Macedonian capital of Skopje.
Perhaps out of tactical, short-term reasons, the Bush administration duly ignored this report. Yet one ought to be mindful that it may be for the tactical advantages, to the terrorists, to present all of these criminal machinations as a haphazard event.
The seeming disconnect in the activities of terrorists is the insidiousness for which they are known.

FBI Weighs in on Balkan Organised Crime

By Dimitris Agrafiotis for Southeast European Times in Athens -
21/11/03

Organised crime in the Balkans has attracted the interest of the
American law enforcement community and the US Senate. The US Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) believes that crime from the Balkans,
Eastern and Central Europe, and the former Soviet Union is expanding
and will continue to expand.

“In the last year or two, European nations have recognised that
Balkan organised crime is one of the greatest criminal threats that
they face,” Assistant Director of the FBI Criminal Investigative
Division Grant D. Ashley said in an October statement before the
Subcommittee on European Affairs of the US Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations………

ccording to Ashley, organised crime groups from Albania have expanded
their activitites in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, and
the Scandinavian countries. In the last few years, he said, Albanian
organised crime has reached the United States, creating partnerships
with the Gambino, Genovese, and Luchese families to facilitate
specific crimes……….

Colonel Crosman - ITCY: From Afghanistan to Iraq: Transplanting CIA Engineered Terrorism

24.2.2007 by CrniLabudovi.

Auch wenn es schon Geschichte ist, so soll doch dieses Verbrechen hier festgestellt werden, das Bill Clinton über die MPRI www.mpri.com und die SAS des Englischen MI6, die Al-Quida Ausbildungs Camps für die UCK Terroristen finanzierte und unterstützte.

From Afghanistan to Iraq: Transplanting CIA Engineered Terrorism
by Kurt Nimmo
………….
n the years immediately before the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the al-Qaeda militants moved into Kosovo, the southern province of Serbia, to help ethnic Albanian extremists of the KLA mount their terrorist campaign against Serb targets in the region … The United States, which had originally trained the Afghan Arabs during the war in Afghanistan, supported them in Bosnia and then in Kosovo. When NATO forces launched their military campaign against Yugoslavia [in March, 1999] to unseat [Slobodan] Milosevic, they entered the Kosovo conflict on the side of the KLA [Kosovo Liberation Army], which had already received “substantial” military and financial support from bin Laden’s network, analysts say.

In other words, the United States was supporting al-Qaeda after the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in August, 1998, events attributed to al-Qaeda and thus, we are told, prompting Clinton to bomb “training camps” (constructed earlier by the CIA) in Afghanistan on August 20 of that same year. Remarkably, in a story published by Jerry Seper in the Washington Times, the bedfellow relationship between Clinton, Osama bin Laden, and the KLA was spelled out:

Some members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, which has financed its war effort through the sale of heroin, were trained in terrorist camps run by international fugitive Osama bin Laden, who is wanted in the 1998 bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa that killed 224 persons, including twelve Americans … The KLA members, embraced by the Clinton administration in NATO’s bombing campaign to bring Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to the bargaining table, were trained in secret camps in Afghanistan… and elsewhere, according to newly obtained intelligence reports. … The reports also show that the KLA has enlisted Islamic terrorists, members of the Mujahideen, as soldiers in its ongoing conflict against Serbia, and that many already have been smuggled into Kosovo to join the fight. … The reports said bin Laden’s organization, known as al-Qaeda, has both trained and financially supported the KLA.

Clinton and the Mad Bomber of Yugoslavia, General Wesley Clark—who the “liberal” Michael Moore wanted to be president—worked hand-in-glove with the KLA, and thus al-Qaeda. “The Washington Post published a long article about bin Laden’s worldwide activities, noting his presence in places like NATO- and U.N.-occupied Bosnia and Kosovo, but failed to point out that this has occurred under the watchful eye of the Clinton administration,” write Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid for Accuracy in Media. “The Post would rather not bring up that subject.” Of course not—and they also “failed” to mention the well-documented connection between “Islamic terrorism” and United States foreign policy in the latest article citing the CIA lab report portraying Iraq as a terrorist incubator.

GIS Reports: Clinton’s, Allbright, Holbrooke supporting the Islamists

24.2.2007 by CrniLabudovi.

Kurz gesagt: Bill Clinton, Holbrock, Hays, Wesley Clark, Allbright organisierten über einen eigenen Geheimdienst am CIA vorbei mit der MPRI www.mpri.com
den Aufbau der übelsten Islamischen Terroristen und Verbrecher auf dem Balkan, mit Hilfe von Afghanistan Veteranen und alten Terror Verbündeten, wie den Iranischen Revolutions Garden und Bin Ladens Terror Truppe.

GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs

Holbrooke, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and the Clinton White House all played key rôles in supporting the Islamists who, as it transpired, were consistently working with al-Qaida and the Iranian Government, among others, in planning major terrorist attacks on the US. Amb. Hays worked closely with Mr Holbrooke in the UN during this period. As a result, it was now seen as important that this pattern of support for people who were later seen to be involved in terrorist actions against the US should not be allowed to emerge, particularly in the build-up to the elections, which were regarded as being critical to Sen. Hillary Clinton and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander-Europe (SACEUR) Gen. Clark

Bosnian Sources Admit Izetbegovic Not Dead; Liaising With Clinton, Holbrooke

Exclusive. Analysis. By Gregory R. Copley, Editor, GIS. With input from GIS Station Sarajevo. Very reliable sources in the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), the radical Bosnian Islamist political party, on October 8, 2003, confirmed to GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily that its leader, Alija Izetbegovic, 78, had not died but that the party had once again leaked stories of an illness and death to reduce the chances that Izetbegovic would face war crimes charges from the International Criminal Tribunal on [former] Yugoslavia (ICTY)……………….

The Deputy High Representative is US Ambassador Donald Hays, who worked with Holbrooke when he was Clinton Administration Ambassador (Permanent Representative) to the United Nations in New York and earlier, during Holbrooke’s time working on Balkan issues when Amb. Hays was Executive Director of the US State Department’s Bureau of European Affairs.

At the UN, on January 21, 2000, Holbrooke said: “I am fortunate to have as part of my team the indefatigable Ambassador Don Hays.” Hays, then, came to the post of Deputy High Representative with strong biases in favor of Clinton Administration support for the Bosnian Islamists and Alija Izetbegovic………………….

Izetbegovic Now Believed Dead

The former President of the Bosnia-Herzegovina collective presidency, Alija Izetbegovic, 78, was reported by GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs sources and at least one authoritative regional media source to have died of illness on September 19, 2003, in a Sarajevo hospital. The local media source was the Bijeljina-based television station, BN TV. BN TV is one of the few truly independent television services in Bosnia-Herzegovina, based in Bijeljina, in Republica Srpska, the predominantly Serbian province.

London Bombings: More Balkans Blow-back?

London Bombings: More Balkans Blow-back?
by William Norman Grigg
August 1, 2005
Email this article
Printer friendly page
Who is “al-Qaeda of Europe,” the previously unknown terrorist group claiming responsibility for the murderous London bombings? Three of the suspected suicide bombers (all killed in the explosions) were immigrants from Pakistan: Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30; Hasib Hussain, 19; and Shehzad Tanweer, 22. Not immediately found was a fourth suspect, designated in some accounts as the presumed “master bomber.”

A story in the London-based Financial Times quoted a top British explosives expert who claimed that the nature of the London explosions “suggests that the perpetrators acquired either military or high-quality commercial explosives, possibly from Eastern Europe.” According to Christophe Chaboud, head of the French security service’s Anti-terrorist Co-ordination Unit, “The use of military explosives is very worrying…. How did they procure them? Either they were supplied by the underground market, for example from the Balkans, or they benefited from accomplices who removed explosives from a military base.”

It’s worth recalling that, thanks to U.S. intervention, the Balkans have become a haven for radical Islamist terrorist organizations. This is particularly true of the former Yugoslav provinces of Bosnia and Kosovo.

During the three-sided Bosnian civil war, which pitted Serbs, Croats, and Bosnian Muslims against each other, the Clinton administration actively supported Bosnian Jihadists aligned with both Iran and Osama bin Laden. During the 1999 bombing of Serbia, Washington provided intelligence and material support to the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), a Marxist narco-terrorist group closely allied to bin Laden. Incredibly, this took place after al-Qaeda’s 1998 attacks against our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania — and despite the fact that the KLA had been officially designated as a terrorist group by the State Department.

Also worth remembering is the fact that Sanel Sjekirika, accused by Spanish authorities of being the “mastermind” of the murderous March 2004 rail station bombing in Madrid, was from Bosnia.

FBI Report: Agim Ceku ist Coordinator von Bin Laden

24.2.2007 by CrniLabudovi.

Der GIS Report ist eine Vorlage für Geheimdienste, genauso wie Janes.

siehe auch Spiegel Artikel letztes Jahr 42/2003! Und solche Verbrecher sind von der UN bezahlt und hatten noch eine Terroristische Ausbildung der NATO im Kosovo bis Mai 2003!

FBI Report etc.: Agim Ceku ist direkter Coordinator von Bin Laden und Co.

und die Cooperation mit Ben Laden ist bestens dokumentiert auch mit
der Amerikanischen Mafia.

Das von der UN bezahlte KPC, arbeitet direkt unter dem Kommando von
Agim Ceku mit Terroristen zusammen! Der gesamte Report ist ein
einziger Skandal, was die NATO treibt, denn Agim Ceku war in 2001
auch zu einem “Führungs Kurs direkt beim Georg C.Marshall Centrum” in
Garmische Parten-Kirchen eingeladen zusammen mit dem Mafia Aufbau
Helfer General Klaus Rheinhardt.

Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily

A German spokesman had, in recent months, made clear anti-Serbian
remarks, highlighting the biased nature of the supposedly impartial
international force supposedly administering Kosovo with the support
of KFOR military units and police provided by donor nations [a Polish
police unit was in charge of the area of Metrovica when the incident
occurred]. UNMIK had, additionally, on several occasions, tried to
overturn international warrants and criminal proceedings against one
of the key Kosovo radicals, known war criminal Agim Ceku, who was now
working as the Commander of the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC), which
was, in fact, created out of the narco-terrorism organization, the
Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA/UCK).2
The October 15, 2003, GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs report also
indicated that Ceku’s KPC was directly engaged in support of
Albanian-trained Islamist terrorists, noting:
“During the first half of August 2003, 300 Albanian-trained guerillas
— including appr. 10 mujahedin (non-Balkan Muslims) — were
infiltrated across the Albanian border into Kosovo, where many have
subsequently been seen in the company (and homes) of members of the
so-called Kosovo Protection Corps which was created out of Kosovo
Albanian elements originally part of the KLA. In fact, the Kosovo
Protection Force seems almost synonymous with the Albanian National
Army (ANA), the new designation for the KLA. The guerillas were
trained in three camps inside the Albanian border at the towns of
Bajram Curi, Tropoja and Kuks, where the camps have been in operation
since 1997.”

Organised crime in the Balkans has attracted the interest of the
American law enforcement community and the US Senate. The US Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) believes that crime from the Balkans,
Eastern and Central Europe, and the former Soviet Union is expanding
and will continue to expand.

Balkan organised crime is one of the greatest criminal threats that
they face,” Assistant Director of the FBI Criminal Investigative
Division Grant D. Ashley said in an October statement before the

Foreign Relations………

ccording to Ashley, organised crime groups from Albania have expanded
their activitites in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, and

FBI Weighs in on Balkan Organised Crime

Grant D. Ashley.

By Dimitris Agrafiotis for Southeast European Times in Athens - 21/11/03

Organised crime in the Balkans has attracted the interest of the American law enforcement community and the US Senate. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) believes that crime from the Balkans, Eastern and Central Europe, and the former Soviet Union is expanding and will continue to expand.

“In the last year or two, European nations have recognised that Balkan organised crime is one of the greatest criminal threats that they face,” Assistant Director of the FBI Criminal Investigative Division Grant D. Ashley said in an October statement before the Subcommittee on European Affairs of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

He added that European police organisations estimate that Balkan crime rings now control more than 70 per cent of the heroin market in some of the larger European nations, and are rapidly taking over human smuggling, prostitution and car theft rings across Europe.

Analysts believe the gangs are involved in all kinds of criminal activity — drug trafficking, human trafficking, burglary and home invasion robbery, money laundering and securities fraud, organised crime gambling and extortion rackets.

According to Ashley, organised crime groups from Albania have expanded their activitites in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, and the Scandinavian countries. In the last few years, he said, Albanian organised crime has reached the United States, creating partnerships with the Gambino, Genovese, and Luchese families to facilitate specific crimes.

In Italy, meanwhile, Mafia groups have reportedly taken advantage of the country’s geographic proximity to Southeast Europe to align themselves with Balkan organised criminal groups engaged in arms and cigarette smuggling, trafficking in humans and smuggling of aliens.

In order to confront this growing problem, Ashley said, the FBI has established the Balkan Organised Crime (BOC) initiative, which is focused on criminal activity emanating from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia-Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Greece. The BOC is a high profile endeavour on the part of the FBI’s Organised Crime Section and the US Department of Justice’s Organised Crime and Racketeering Section, he noted.

CIA Verbrechen: Die Massaker der Kroaten in der Krainja und dem Medak

24.2.2007 by CrniLabudovi.

Wie im Standard.at zu lesen war, gab Georg Tenet persönlich die Befehle für den Ethnischen Säuberungen und Morde in der Krainja, wobei die Befehls Verantwortung direkt bei Holbrook und Bill Clinton lag. Selbst der ITCY ermittelte das.

Nur ein kleiner Bericht, wobei die Top Quellen wie Janes untern einmal aufgeführt sind. Und immer bei allen Verbrechen dabei die US Söldner Firma www.mpri.com

Sogar Giftgas sollen die Kroaten unter Ante Gotovina und der US www.mpri.com eingesetzt haben.

US-MILITÄRHILFE

………………………………………

Das Trainingskonzept von MPRI, das bereits in Kroatien und Bosnien getestet wurde, basieren auf der Vermittlung, daß “offensive Taktiken die beste Form der Verteidigung sind”. (17) Im Kosovo verwandelt diese sogenannte “Verteidigungsdoktrin” die UCK in eine moderne Armee, die dabei jedoch nicht ihr terroristisches Make-up verliert. (1 Zielsetzung ist es, die UCK letztendlich in eine moderne Armee und Polizeitstreitmacht umzuwandeln, die den zukünftigen strategischen Zielen der NATO-Allianz auf dem Balkan dient. Die MPRI-Söldnerfirma hat z.Z. “93 in hohem Maße erfahrene, ehemalige militärische Fachleute in Bosnien-Herzegovina im Einsatz”. (19) Die Zahl der ehem. Offizieren, die im Auftrag der US-Regierung die UCK trainieren, wurde nicht bekannt gegeben.

Teil II : Von der Krajina zum Kosovo.
VOM EHEMALIGEN KROATISCHEN GENERAL ZUM STABSCHEF DER UCK

Die Massaker von Zivilisten im Kosovo sind keine unzusammenhängenden Racheakte, die von albanischen Zivilisten oder sogenannten “unkontrollierbaren Elementen” innerhalb der UCK begangen wurden, wie von der NATO und den Vereinten Nationen behauptet wird. Vielmehr sind sie Teil eines gleichbleibenden und zusammenhängenden Musters. Das Ziel der von der UCK geförderten Greueltaten war die “ethnische Säuberung” von Serben, Roma und anderer Minoritäten im Kosovo. (Das Resultat bestätigt den Erfolg.)

Als UCK-Kommandant Agim Ceku auf die Ermordung von 14 serbischen Dorfbewohnern am 24. Juli bei Gracko zu sprechen kam, behauptete er: “Wir [die UCK] wissen nicht, wer das getan hat. Aber ich glaube aufrichtig, daß diese Leute nichts mit der UCK zu tun haben.” (20) Seinerseits hat der KFOR-Kommandant, Generalleutnant Sir Michael Jackson seinen Gegenpart von der UCK, Kommandant Agim Ceku für seine “Bemühungen” gelobt, die UCK zu entwaffnen. Tatsache ist aber, daß nur sehr wenige UCK-Waffen abgegeben worden sind. Deshalb verlängerte die NATO kurzerhand für die UCK die Abgabefrist für ihre Waffen. “Ich sehe dies (die Verzögerungen durch die UCK, Anm. RR) nicht als Nichtbefolgung an”, sagte dazu KFOR-Kommandant Jackson in einer Pressekonferenz, “sondern eher als Zeichen für die Ernsthaftigkeit, mit der General Ceku diese wichtige Ausgabe angeht.” (21)

Was Sir Michael Jackson nicht erwähnte, ist die Tatsache, daß der UCK-Stabschef, Kommandant Agim Ceku, nach Angaben von Jane Defence Weekly vom 10. Juni 1999 einer der hauptverantwortlichen Planer der erfolgreichen “Operation-Sturm” der kroatischen Armee war, die sich 1995 gegen die Serben richtete, die seit Jahrhunderten in der kroatischen Krajina lebten. (Allerdings wurde Agim Ceku für seine Rollen in dieser Operation bisher noch nicht als Kriegverbrecher angeklagt.)

Dem General Jackson, der im ehemaligen Jugoslawien in der Schutztruppe der Vereinten Nationen (UNPROFOR) gedient hatte, müssen die damaligen Aktivitäten von Agim Ceku und dem kroatischen Oberkommando bekannt sein. Im Februar 1999, kaum ein Monat vor Beginn der NATO-Bombardierungen, verließ Ceku seine Position als Brigadegeneral der kroatischen Armee, um oberster militärischer Leiter der UCK im Kosovo zu werden.
VON DER KRAJINA ZUM KOSOVO: UMRISSE FÜR DIE ZUKUNFT

Nach Ansicht des Kroatischen Helsinki Ausschusses für Menschenrechte kam es während der drei Tage dauernden “Operation Sturm” (1995) zu etlichen Massakern, denen mindestens 410 Zivilisten zum Opfer fielen. (22) Ein interner Bericht des Kriegverbrechertribunals von Den Haag, der der New York Times zugespielt worden war, bestätigt, daß die Armee Kroatiens für eine Reihe von Kriegsverbrechen verantwortlich gemacht wird: “Massenexekutionen, unterschiedslose Beschießung der Zivilbevölkerungen mit Granaten und “ethnische Säuberung” der Krajina von Serben (23)

In einem Kapitel des Berichtes mit dem Titel: “Die Anklage. Operation Sturm. Ein eindeutiger Fall,” bestätigt das Tribunal: “Während der militärischen Offensive begingen die kroatischen Armee und die Sonderpolizei zahlreiche Verletzungen der internationalen Gesetze zum Schutz der Menschenrechte, unter anderem die Bombardierung von Knin und anderen Städten mit Granaten. Während der militärischen Offensive und den 100 Tagen, die folgten, wurden mindestens 150 serbische Zivilisten summarisch exekutiert und viele Hunderte verschwanden. ….In einer umfassenden und systematischen Weise begingen kroatische Truppen Morde und andere unmenschliche Taten an den kroatischen Serben” (24)
“US-GENERÄLE ZU VERMIETEN”

Der interne 150 Seite lange Bericht des Tribunals stellte weiter fest, daß es “ausreichendes Material hat, um gegen drei (kroatische) Generäle, die das Militär während der Operation Sturm befehligten” ein Verfahren wegen Kriegsverbrechen einzuleiten. (25) Die benannten Personen waren direkt für die militärische Operation vor Ort verantwortlich. Jene, die für die Planung der “Operation Sturm” verantwortlich zeichneten, werden nicht erwähnt.

Die Identität des “amerikanischen Generals” (verantwortlich für die Planung) von dem der Mitarbeiter des Tribunals Fenrick gesprochen hat, ist nicht bekannt. Das Tribunal hat Fenrick nicht erlaubt, sich dazu in einem Interview zu äußern. Aber Frau Arbour, die Chefanklägerin des Tribunals, deutete in einem Telefoninterview letzte Woche an, daß Fenricks Kommentar nur ein Scherzen gewesen sei. Frau Arbour war nicht während der Sitzung anwesend gewesen, bei der Fenrick seine Bemerkung hat fallen lassen. Und jene, die dabei gewesen sind, haben es nicht als Scherz verstanden. Vielmehr nahmen sie an, daß Fenricks Bemerkung sich auf einen ehem. US-General bezog, der für die amerikanische Söldnerfirma “Military Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI)” in Kroatien arbeitete. In Bezug auf die amerikanische Verwicklung in die Operation Sturm bleiben zahlreiche Fragen unbeantwortet. Dokumente des Tribunals belegen, daß im Verlauf der dreijährigen Untersuchung der Operation es die Vereinigten Staaten versäumt haben, die vom Tribunal verlangten kritischen Beweismittel zur Verfügung zu stellen. Bei den Beamten des Tribunals hat das nur das Mißtrauen geweckt, daß Washington die Untersuchung dieser Sache sehr unangenehm ist. Nach Auskunft von Mitarbeitern des Tribunals und auf Grundlage entsprechender Dokumente, hat das Pentagon über amerikanische Anwälte, die am Tribunal vertreten sind, wissen lassen, daß es der Auffassung ist, daß der Granatbeschuß (der Zivilbevölkerung in den serbischen Städten in der Krajina; Anm. RR) eine legitime militärische Aktivität war.. (26)

Das Tribunal versucht nur zu verstecken, was bereits in mehreren Presseberichten unmittelbar nach der “Operation Sturm” aufgedeckt worden war. Nach Aussagen eines Sprechers des US-Außenministeriums hat die Söldnerfirma MPRI den Kroaten geholfen, “unnötige Greueltaten bei militärischen Operationen zu verhindern.” (27) Fünfzehn hochrangige US-Militär-Berater, angeführt vom pensionierten zwei-Sterne General Richard Griffitts, waren kaum sieben Monate vor der “Operation Sturm” nach Kroatien geschickt worden. (2 Es existiert ein Bericht, wonach der Geschäftsführer der MPRI, General Carl E. Vuono, ein “Geheimtreffen mit dem kroatischen General Varimar Cervenko, dem Architekten der Krajina-Offensive, auf der Insel Brioni vor der kroatischen Küste gehabt hat. In den fünf Tagen, die dem Angriff vorausgingen, fanden mindestens 10 Sitzungen zwischen MPRI-General Vuono und Offizieren statt, die in den Angriff mit einbezogen waren.” (29)

Von E. D. Soyster - ein hochrangiger Mitarbeiter der MPRI und seines Zeichens ehemaliger Chef des US-amerikanischen militärischen Geheimdienstes (DIA) - liegt nachfolgende Aussage vor: “Die Rolle der MPRI in Kroatien beschränkt sich auf “Klassenzimmerausbildung” auf dem Gebiet von militärisch-zivilen Beziehungen und beinhaltet kein Training an Waffen oder taktischer Schulung. Andere amerikanische Militärs sagen, was auch immer MPRI für die Kroaten getan hat, es war jeden Pfennig wert.”

Dagegen sagte Charles Boyd, ein vor kurzem pensionierter vier-Sterne General der US-Luftwaffe, der bis Juli 1995 die Nr.2 des Pentagons in Europa war,: “Carl Vuono und Butch [ Crosbie ] Saint (ein anderer führender Mitarbeiter von MPRI; Anm. RR) sind Söldner, die für die Kroaten eine sehr gute Arbeit geleistet haben und die ohne Zweifel auch in Bosnien eine gute Arbeit tun werden” (30)
VERTUSCHUNG BEIM HAAGER TRIBUNAL

Die Tatsache, daß die internen Berichte des Tribunals über die Massaker in der Krajina ausgerechnet wenige Tage vor den NATO-Luftangriffen auf Jugoslawien der Presse zugespielt worden waren, hatte die Chefanklägerin der Tribunals, Louise Arbour, arg in Verlegenheit gebracht. Daraufhin versuchte das Tribunal, die Sache so gut wie möglich zu vertuschen und die Entdeckungen des Berichtes - einschließlich der Hinweise auf die Rolle der amerikanischen Offiziere im Dienste Kroatiens herunter zu spielen. Einige Tribunalbeamte, einschließlich des amerikanischen Rechtsanwalt Clint Williamson, versuchten die Zeugenaussage des kanadischen Blauhelmoffiziers zu diskreditieren, der 1995 Zeuge der Massaker in der Krajina war. (31)

Williamson, der die Bombardierung von Knin mit Granaten als “nebensächliches Ereignis” beschrieb, sagte aus, daß das Pentagon ihm erklärt hätte, daß Knin ein legitimes militärisches Ziel gewesen sei. Daraufhin stimmte das Tribunal dafür, die Beschießung von Knin nicht in die Listen von Anklagepunkten aufzunehmen; eine Entscheidung, die viele am Tribunal verärgerte und/oder mit ungläubigem Staunen aufgenommen wurde. (32)

Die Erkenntnisse des Tribunals, die aus dem der Presse zugespielten internen Bericht hervorgingen, wurden in der Folge systematisch heruntergespielt: ihre Bedeutung wurde beiläufig als “Meinungsäußerungen, Argumente und Hypothesen verschiedener Mitarbeiter” abgetan. (33) Nach Ansicht der Sprecherin der Tribunals “stellen die Dokumente in keinster Weise die Schlußfolgerungen der Anklage dar”. (34)

Der interne 150-Seiten-Bericht ist bisher nicht freigegeben worden. Der Mitarbeiter, der für die Zuspielung an die Presse verantwortlich gemacht wurde, arbeitet nach einem Bericht des kroatischen Fernsehens nicht mehr für das Tribunal. […]
DER GEBRAUCH CHEMISCHER WAFFEN IN KROATIEN

Die Massaker, die im Rahmen der “Operation Sturm ” stattfanden, bereiteten den Boden für die ethnische Säuberung von mindestens 180.000 Krajina-Serben (entsprechend der Schätzungen des Kroatischen Helsinki Komitees und von Amnesty International). Andere Quellen vermuten eine weitaus höhere Zahl von Opfern der ethnischen Säuberung in der Krajina.

Außerdem gibt es Hinweise, daß chemische Waffen im jugoslawischen Bürgerkrieg von 1991-1995 benutzt wurden. (36) Obwohl es keine handfesten Beweis für deren Gebrauch gegen kroatische Serben gibt, deutet eine laufende (seit Juli 99) Untersuchung des Kanadischen Verteidigungsministeriums darauf hin, daß kanadische Friedenstruppen während ihres Dienstes in Kroatien von 1993 bis 1995 mit toxischen Substanzen vergiftet worden sind.

“Als die Medien erst einmal begriffen hatten, daß im Verteidigungsministerium womöglich ein größerer Skandal hochgehen würde, war die Spannung während der letzten Wochen groß. … Es ging um die Krankenakten jener kanadischen Soldaten, die 1993 in Kroatien eingesetzt waren. Es gab Behauptungen über vernichtete Akten, Gerüchte über Vertuschung und sehr defensive höhere Beamte im Ministerium”. (37)

Der amtliche freigegebene Bericht des kanadischen Ministeriums der Nationalen Verteidigung (DND) spricht von der Möglichkeit der toxischen “Bodenverschmutzung” in der Medak-Tasche im Jahre 1993 (Siehe unten). War es nur “Bodenverschmutzung” oder war es etwas weitaus schlimmeres? Die Kriminaluntersuchung durch die Königliche Kanadische Aufgesessene Polizei (RCMP; vergleichbar mit dem amerikanischen FBI) spricht von der Vernichtung im Reißwolf von Krankenakten ehemaliger kanadischer Blauhelmsoldaten durch das DND. Mit anderen Worten, was hatte das DND zu verstecken? Die Kernfrage ist: Welche Art von Granaten und Munition hatte die kroatische Armee eingesetzt; gebrauchte sie chemische Waffen gegen serbische Zivilisten?

“OPERATION STURM” - BERICHT DES KÖNIGLICHEN KANADISCHEN REGIMENTS

Vor dem massiven Angriff hatte das kroatische Radio eine Meldung von Präsident Franjo Tudjman verkündet, der alle “kroatische Bürger serbischer Abstammung” dazu aufrief, “in ihren Häusern zu bleiben und sich nicht vor den kroatischen Behörden zu fürchten, die die Minoritätenrechte achten würden” (3 Kanadische Blauhelmsoldaten des Zweiten Bataillons des Königlichen 22. Regiments waren Zeugen der Greueltaten der kroatischen Truppen bei ihrer Krajina-Offensive 1995: “Alle Serben, die ihre Häuser nicht verlassen hatten, wurden von umherziehenden kroatischen Todeskommandos systematisch . Jedes verlassene Tier wurde erschossen und jede mögliche serbische Wohnung wurde geplündert und angezündet.” (39).

Die Teilnahme deutscher Söldner an der Operation Sturm wurde ebenfalls von den kanadischen Blauhelmtruppen bestätigt: “Unmittelbar hinter der aus kroatischen Kampftruppen und deutschen Söldnern bestehenden Front f
