But former president Izetbegovic quickly denied the report. In the NATO defense ministers’ meeting (December 18th 2001), NATO’s Secretary General, George Robertson, claimed that SFOR in Bosnia and Herzegovina had eradicated the Al Qa’ida network there; also, KFOR in Kosovo was investigating alleged terrorists there.
When the war ended in Bosnia and Herzegovina, political turmoil subsided, but the tension in Kosovo increased . Mujahedeen from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania’s training camps were active in inciting the Kosovo conflict (1998/1999). Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung67 cites dates when the first Islamic terrorist branches were established in Albania.
…………………….
Hundreds of Arabian, Chechen, Albanian, Pakistani, Macedonian, Albanian, and Bosnian Muslim passports and other documents were found in the Al Qa’ida camps, evidence of the role of terrorists in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Macedonia. For example, “Albanian daily news”73 reported that five Arab families were expelled from Albania. Mostly Egyptian, they were members of Islamic relief organizations, such as “World organization of Islamic aid,” “Incarnation of Islamic heritage,” “Al Haramein,” and “Al Waffk”. Pakistan’s “The Frontier post”74 reported that border troops arrested 28 Al Qa’ida fighters escaping Afghanistan. They were Sudanese, Saudi, Turkish, and Albanian nationals. It appears that Albanians were successfully recruited. Whether Albanians went first to wage war in Afghanistan or were only training there to later return and fight in Kosovo, South Serbia, or Macedonia, is irrelevant.
