“Foreign Policy”: Banditokracia e Kosovës
Tërhequr më 19 Shkurt 2011

Në kohën e festimit të përvjetorit të tretë të pavarësisë, Kosovës i vjen shkrimi më i rëndë ndërkombëtar. Eshtë revista prestigjioze “Foreign Policy” e SHBA-së, që në numrin e saj më të ri vendos në krye shkrimin e gjatë me titullin “Banditokracia”.
“Mendoni se Mubaraku ishte i keq? Liderët e Kosovës akuzohen për trafikim organesh e tregti me drogë. SHBA-të mbyllin sytë”, është paragrafi i parë i shkrimit nga Whit Mason dhe Bronwyn Healy- Aarons.

Aty fillimisht përshkruhet fakti sesi Kosova në këta tre vjet “nuk ka kodin e saj postal as telefonik, nuk mund të ketë një IP adresë të veten, sportistët e saj nuk marrin pjesë në ngjarje sportive ndërkombëtare, mijëra trupa të NATO-s ende shërbejnë si paqeruajtës, kosovarët mund të udhëtojnë pa viza në vetëm 5 shtete, duke përfshirë Haitin dhe me vetëm 75 njohje nga 192, Kosova mbetet një shtet gjysmë-sovran”.

Çështja kryesore që shtron artikulli është përkrahja që u jep SHBA-ja liderëve autokratë në botë, duke përfshirë edhe vendosjen e “të fortëve” në krye të një demokracie të re siç është Kosova.
“Kryeministri Thaçi është nën akuza për trafikim organesh, lideri opozitar Ramush Haradinaj gjendet në Hagë me akuza për krime lufte, Ministri i Transportit Fatmir Limaj u bastis me dyshime për keqpërdorimin e milionave të buxhetit, ndersa Guvernatori i Bankës Qendrore u arrestua me akuza për evazion fiskal, korrupsion dhe pastrim parash”, kujton Foreign Policy.
Dhe, kthehet për të analizuar rolin e SHBA-së.

“Teksa SHBA-ja përballej me pafuqinë për të pasur ndikim në largimin e regjimeve në Tunis dhe Kajro, në fakt ajo e ka fuqinë për të ndikuar në ndryshime dhe për të promovuar një qeverisje më transparente dhe të përgjegjshme në Prishtinë, ku një grup i liderëve banditë, pasardhës të UÇK-së, që akuzohet për krime lufte e tregti me armë, tashme po e udhëheqin këtë vend. Por, deri më tani, Ëashingtoni nuk ka pasur vullnet që të bëjë presionin e nevojshëm tek liderët kosovarë dhe mosvullneti për ta bërë këtë rrezikon investimin miliardësh duke e çuar shtetin drejt banditokracisë”, shkruan FP.
Madje, sjellja e “çuditshme” amerikane ilustrohet me disa shembuj interesantë.

“Në vitin 1999, mbështetja amerikane për Thaçin si një hero u kurorëzua me një puthje në faqe nga ana e ish Sekretares Amerikane të Shtetit, Madeline Albright, pas intervenimit të saj në Kosovë. Në vitin 2004, secili pjesëtar i stafit të SHBA-së u ftua në dasmën e Haradinajt, dhe përkundër lidhjeve të tij me krimin e organizuar dhe pritjes së një akuze për krime lufte, të gjithë shkuan në dasmë. Së fundi, një natë pas bastisjeve në zyret dhe shtëpitnë e Limajt, ambasadori amerikan në Kosovë, Christopher Dell u pa duke qeshur dhe biseduar me ministrin në një aheng të madh në Prishtinë”.

Revista ka një mesazh për administratën amerikane.

“Parimi kryesor në ndihmën për ndërtimin e demokracive të reja, duhet të jetë mbështetja e kushteve për të mos lejuar asnjë që të veprojë mbi ligjin. Madje edhe në një vend si Kosova, ku ndikimi perëndimor është aq i madh, krijimi i hapësirës për aktivitete jashtëligjore, fshin gjithçka tjetër që është arritur edhe me intervenimin më ekstravagant”, përfundon shkrimi.

EULEX, akuzë dy ish-luftëtarëve të UÇK-së

Prishtinë, 19 shkurt - Prokuroria Speciale e Kosovës ka ngritur aktakuzë edhe ndaj dy ish-pjesëtarëve të UÇK-së, për krime lufte të kryera kundër popullsisë civile në një kamp në Cahan të Shqipërisë.

Haki Hajdari, 48 vjeç nga Skenderaj, i njohur me nofkën “Haki Drenica” dhe Sali Rexhepi, 55 vjec nga Rashkoci i Gjakovës akuzohen nga një prokuror ndërkombëtar se në bashkëpunim me Riza Alijajn dhe anëtarë të tjerë të UÇK-së, të paidentifikuar deri më tani, kanë trajtuar në mënyrë çnjerëzore civilë shqiptarë në Cahan të Shqipërisë në vitin 1999.

Kosovo: Europe’s Mafia State. Hub of the EU-NATO Drug Trail Kosovo’s Prime Minister Accused of Running Human Organ, Drug Trafficking Cartel By Tom Burghardt

Global Research, December 22, 2010

Antifascist Calling…

In another grim milestone for the United States and NATO, the Council of Europe (COE) released an explosive report last week, “Inhuman treatment of people and illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo.” The report charged that former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) boss and current Prime Minister, Hashim Thaçi, “is the head of a ‘mafia-like’ Albanian group responsible for smuggling weapons, drugs and human organs through eastern Europe,” The Guardian disclosed. According to a draft resolution unanimously approved December 16 in Paris, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights found compelling evidence of forced disappearances, organ trafficking, corruption and collusion between criminal gangs and “political circles” in Kosovo who just happen to be close regional allies of the United States. The investigation was launched by Dick Marty, the Parliamentary Assembly for the Council of Europe (PACE) special rapporteur for human rights who had conducted an exhaustive 2007 probe into CIA “black fights” in Europe. The PACE investigation gathered steam after allegations were published by former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Carla Del Ponte in her 2008 memoir. After it’s publication, Ms. Del Ponte was bundled off to Argentina by the Swiss government as her nation’s ambassador. Once there, the former darling of the United States who specialized in doling out victor’s “justice” to the losers of the Balkan wars, was conveniently silenced. A series of damning reports by the Center for Investigative Journalism (CIR), the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) and the BBC, confirmed Del Ponte’s allegations and spurred the Council to act. Reporting for the BBC, investigative journalist Michael Montgomery learned that political opponents of the KLA and Serb prisoners of war “simply vanished without a trace” into a secret prison “in the Albanian border town of Kukes.” According to sources who feared for their lives, including former KLA guerrillas, the BBC revealed that disappeared civilians “were Serbs and Roma seized by KLA soldiers and were being hidden away from Nato troops. The source believes the captives were sent across the border to Albania and killed.” In an uncanny echo of Nazi practices during the period of the Third Reich, The New York Times reported that “captives” were “‘filtered’ for their suitability as donors, based on sex, age, health conditions and ethnic origin. “We heard numerous references to captives’ not merely having been handed over, but also having been ‘bought’ and ’sold,’” the special rapporteur told the Times. “Some of the guards told investigators,” the Times reports, “that a few captives understood what was about to happen and ‘pleaded with their captors to be spared the fate of being chopped into pieces’.” Mercy was in short supply however, behind KLA lines. The report states: “As and when the transplant surgeons were confirmed to be in position and ready to operate, the captives were brought out of the ’safe house’ individually, summarily executed by a KLA gunman, and their corpses transported swiftly to the operating clinic.” Once organs were removed from the victims they were auctioned off to the highest bidder and sold by a global trafficking ring still operating today. The former prosecutor further alleged, The Guardian reported, that “she had been prevented from investigating senior KLA officials” who she claimed had “smuggled captive Serbs across the border into Albania, where their organs were harvested.” In a classic case of covering-up the crimes of low-level thugs to protect more powerful criminals, Del Ponte has charged that forensic evidence gathered by ICTY investigators at one of the northern Albania death houses was destroyed at The Hague. International Network This brisk underground trade didn’t end in 1999 however, when the break-away Serb province was occupied by NATO troops; on the contrary, operations expanded and grew even more profitable as Kosovo devolved into a protectorate of the United States. In fact, a trial underway in Pristina has revealed that “desperate Russians, Moldovans, Kazakhs and Turks were lured into the capital ‘with the false promise of payments’ for their kidneys,” The Guardian reported. It was a “growth industry” that fed on human misery. According to The Guardian, recipients “paid up to €90,000 (£76,400) for the black-market kidneys [and] included patients from Canada, Germany, Poland and Israel,” EU prosecutor Jonathan Ratel told the British paper. “Donors” however, were left holding the bag, lucky to escape with their lives. At the center of the scandal is the Medicus clinic. Located some six miles from downtown Pristina, Medicus was allegedly founded by university hospital urologist Dr Lutfi Dervishi, and a former permanent secretary of health, prosecutors claim, provided the clinic with a false license to operate. Two of the accused, The Guardian revealed, “are fugitives wanted by Interpol: Moshe Harel, an Israeli said to have matched donors with recipients, and Yusuf Sonmez, perhaps the world’s most renowned organ trafficker.” Prosecutors believe that Harel and Sonmez are the brains behind Medicus and that Shaip Muja, a former KLA “medical commander” who was based in Albania, may have overseen operations at the “clinic.” Muja remains a close confidante of Thaçi’s and, in an macabre twist, he is currently “a political adviser in the office of the prime minister, with responsibility for health,” The Guardian reports. Investigators averred they had “uncovered numerous convergent indications of Muja’s central role [in] international networks, comprising human traffickers, brokers of illicit surgical procedures, and other perpetrators of organised crime.” Besides lining the pockets of Albanian, Israeli and Turkish criminals who ran the grisly trafficking ring, whose interests might also be served in covering-up these horrific crimes? A Gangster State, but which One? The veil of secrecy surrounding KLA atrocities could not have been as complete as it was without the intervention of powerful actors, particularly amongst political and military elites in Germany and the United States who had conspired with local gangsters, rebranded as “freedom fighters,” during the break-up of Yugoslavia. As in Albania years before NATO’s Kosovo adventure, organized criminal activities and “the trade in narcotics and weapons [were] allowed to prosper,” Michel Chossudovsky wrote, because “the West had turned a blind eye.” These extensive deliveries of weapons were tacitly permitted by the Western powers on geopolitical grounds: both Washington and Bonn had favoured (although not officially) the idea of a ‘Greater Albania’ encompassing Albania, Kosovo and parts of Macedonia. Not surprisingly, there was a ‘deafening silence’ on the part of the international media regarding the Kosovo arms-drugs trade. (”The Criminalization of Albania,” in Masters of the Universe? NATO’s Balkan Crusade, ed. Tariq Ali, London: Verso, 2000, pp. 299-300) The consequences of this “deafening silence” remain today. Both in terms of the misery and impoverishment imposed on Kosovo’s citizens by the looting of their social property, particularly the wholesale privatization of its mineral wealth which IMF economic “reforms” had spawned, and in the political cover bestowed upon Pristina’s gangster regime by the United States. In the intervening years NATO’s “blind eye” has morphed into something more sinister: outright complicity with their Balkan protégés. Virtually charging the ICTY with knuckling under to political pressure from the Americans, the PACE report states that “the ICTY, which had started to conduct an initial examination on the spot to establish the existence of traces of possible organ trafficking, dropped the investigation.” “The elements of proof taken in Rripe, in Albania” during that initial inquiry investigators wrote, “have been destroyed and cannot therefore be used for more detailed analyses. No subsequent investigation has been carried out into a case nevertheless considered sufficiently serious by the former ICTY Prosecutor for her to see the need to bring it to public attention through her book.” This is hardly surprising, considering that the ICTY was created at the insistence of the Clinton administration precisely as a retributive hammer to punish official enemies of the U.S. Hailed as an objective body by media enablers of America’s imperial project, with few exceptions, while it relentlessly hunted down alleged Serbian war criminals–the losers in the decade-long conflagration–it studiously ignored proxy forces, including the KLA, under the operational control of German and American intelligence agencies. The report averred that human organ trafficking was only a part of a larger web of crime and corruption, and that murder, trafficking in women, control over global narcotics distribution and money laundering networks were standard operating procedure for Thaçi and other members of the “Drenica group,” the black widows at the center of the KLA spiders’ web. For his part, Thaçi has called the PACE report “libelous” and the Kosovo government has repudiated the Council’s findings claiming that the charges “were not based on facts and were construed to damage the image of Kosovo and the war of the Kosovo Liberation Army.” While one can easily dismiss prevarications from Kosovo’s government, the White House role in covering-up the crimes of their client regime should have provoked a major scandal. That it didn’t only reveals the depths of Washington’s own venal self-interest in preventing this sordid affair from gaining traction. In  all likelihood fully-apprised of the Council of Europe’s investigation through any number of American-friendly moles implanted in European institutions as WikiLeaks Cablegate files have revealed, last summer Thaçi met with U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden at the White House. Shamelessly, Biden “reaffirmed the United States’ full support for an independent, democratic, whole, and multi-ethnic Kosovo,” and “reiterated the United States’ firm support for Kosovo’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” according to a White House press release. Indeed, the vice president “welcomed the progress that Kosovo’s government has made in carrying out essential reforms, including steps to strengthen the rule of law.” An all too predictable pattern when one considers the lawless nature of the regime in Washington. The Heroin Trail As I reported more than two years ago in “Welcome to Kosovo! The World’s Newest Narco State,” the KLA served as the militarized vanguard for the Albanian mafia whose “15 Families” control virtually every facet of the Balkan heroin trade. Albanian traffickers ship heroin originating exclusively from Central Asia’s Golden Crescent. At one end lies America’s drug outpost in Afghanistan where poppy is harvested for processing and transshipment through Iran and Turkey; as morphine base it is then refined into “product” for worldwide consumption. From there it passes into the hands of the Albanian syndicates who control the Balkan Route. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported back in 1999, “Kosovars were the acknowledged masters of the trade, credited with shoving aside the Turkish gangs that had long dominated narcotics trafficking along the Balkan Route, and effectively directing the ethnic Albanian network.” As the murdered investigative journalist Peter Klebnikov reported in 2000 for Mother Jones, as the U.S.-sponsored war in Kosovo heated up, “the drug traffickers began supplying the KLA with weapons procured from Eastern European and Italian crime groups in exchange for heroin. The 15 Families also lent their private armies to fight alongside the KLA. Clad in new Swiss uniforms and equipped with modern weaponry, these troops stood out among the ragtag irregulars of the KLA. In all, this was a formidable aid package.” Despite billions of dollars spent on failed interdiction efforts, these patterns persist today as more than 106 metric tons of heroin flow into Europe. So alarmed has the Russian government become over the flood of heroin penetrating their borders from Central Asian and the Balkan outposts that some officials have likened it to American “narco-aggression” and a new “opium war, researcher Peter Dale Scott reported. Scott avers: “These provinces” in Afghanistan, “support the past and present CIA assets in the Karzai regime (headed by Hamid Karzai, a former CIA asset), including the president’s brother Ahmed Wali Karzai, an active CIA asset, and Abdul Rashid Dostum, a former CIA asset. In effect America has allied itself with one drug faction in Afghanistan against another.” Much the same can be said for CIA assets in Pristina. As the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) published in their 2010 World Drug Report: Once heroin leaves Turkish territory, interception efficiency drops significantly. In the Balkans, relatively little heroin is seized, suggesting that the route is exceedingly well organized and lubricated with corruption. … Another notable feature of the Balkan route is that some important networks have clan-based and hierarchically organized structures. Albanian groups in particular have such structures, making them particularly hard to infiltrate. This partially explains their continued involvement in several European heroin markets. Albanian networks continue to be particularly visible in Greece, Italy and Switzerland. Italy is one of the most important heroin markets in Europe, and frequently identified as a base of operation for Balkan groups who exploit the local diaspora. According to WCO seizure statistics, Albanians made up the single largest group (32%) of all arrestees for heroin trafficking in Italy between 2000 and 2008. The next identified group was Turks followed by Italians and citizens of Balkan countries (Bulgaria, Kosovo/Serbia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and to some extent Greece). A number of Pakistani and Nigerian traffickers were arrested in Italy as well. As has been documented for decades, U.S. destabilization programs and covert operations rely on far-right provocateurs and drug lords (often interchangeable players) to facilitate the dirty work. Throughout its Balkan campaign the CIA made liberal use of these preexisting narcotics networks to arm the KLA and then provide them with targets. When NATO partners Germany and the U.S. decided to drive a stake through Yugoslavia’s heart during the heady days of post-Cold War triumphalism, their geopolitical strategy could not have achieved “success” without the connivance, indeed active partnership forged amongst Yugoslavia’s nationalist rivals. As investigative journalist Misha Glenny has shown, Most shocking of all, however, is how the gangsters and politicians fueling war between their peoples were in private cooperating as friends and close business partners. The Croat, Bosnian, Albanian, Macedonian, and Serb moneymen and mobsters were truly thick as thieves. They bought, sold, and exchanged all manner of commodities, knowing that the high levels of personal trust between them were much stronger than the transitory bonds of hysterical nationalism. They fomented this ideology among ordinary folk in essence to mask their own venality. As one commentator described it, the new republics were ruled by “a parastate Cartel which had emerged from political institutions, the ruling Communist Party and its satellites, the military, a variety of police forces, the Mafia, court intellectuals and with the president of the Republic at the center of the spider web…Tribal nationalism was indispensable for the cartel as a means to pacify its subordinates and as a cover for the uninterrupted privatization of the state apparatus. (McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Criminal Underworld, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2008, p. 27) Thaçi and other members of his inner circle, Marty avers, were “commonly identified, and cited in secret intelligence reports,” published by the German secret state agency, the Bundesnachrichtendienst or BND “as the most dangerous of the KLA’s ‘criminal bosses’.” Trading on American protection to consolidate political power, thus maintaining control over key narcotics smuggling corridors, the special rapporteur writes that “having succeeded in eliminating, or intimidating into silence, the majority of the potential and actual witnesses against them (both enemies and erstwhile allies), using violence, threats, blackmail, and protection rackets,” Thaçi’s Drenica Group have “exploit[ed] their position in order to accrue personal wealth totally out of proportion with their declared activities.” Indeed, multiple reports prepared by the U.S. DEA, FBI, the BND, Italy’s SISMI, Britain’s MI6 and the Greek EYP intelligence service have stated that Drenica Group members “are consistently named as ‘key players’ in intelligence reports on Kosovo’s mafia-like structures of organised crime.” As the Council of Europe and investigative journalists have documented, northern Albania was the site not only of KLA training camps but of secret detention centers where prisoners of war and civilian KLA opponents were executed and their organs surgically removed and sold on the international black market. “The reality is that the most significant operational activities undertaken by members of the KLA–prior to, during, and in the immediate aftermath of the conflict–took place on the territory of Albania, where the Serb security forces were never deployed.” The report avers, “It is well established that weapons and ammunition were smuggled into parts of Kosovo, often on horseback, through clandestine, mountainous routes from northern Albania,” the site of secret NATO bases, “yet only in the second half of 1998,” Marty writes, “through explicit endorsements from Western powers, founded on strong lobbying from the United States, did the KLA secure its pre-eminence in international perception as the vanguard of the Kosovar Albanian liberation struggle.” “What is particularly confounding” Marty writes, “is that all of the international community in Kosovo–from the Governments of the United States and other allied Western powers, to the EU-backed justice authorities–undoubtedly possess the same, overwhelming documentation of the full extent of the Drenica Group’s crimes, but none seems prepared to react in the face of such a situation and to hold the perpetrators to account.” While the special rapporteur’s outrage is palpable, the ascension of a political crime family with deep roots in the international drugs trade and other rackets, including the grisly traffic in human organs, far from being an anomalous event conforms precisely to the structural pattern of capitalist rule in the contemporary period. “What we have uncovered” Marty informs us, “is of course not completely unheard-of. The same or similar findings have long been detailed and condemned in reports by key intelligence and police agencies, albeit without having been followed up properly, because the authors’ respective political masters have preferred to keep a low profile and say nothing, purportedly for reasons of ‘political expediency’. But we must ask what interests could possibly justify such an attitude of disdain for all the values that are invariably invoked in public?” Marty need look no further for an answer to his question than to the “political masters” in Washington, who continue to cover-up not only their own crimes but those of the global mafias who do their bidding. As we have seen throughout the latter half of the 20th century down to the present moment, powerful corporate and financial elites, the military and intelligence agencies and, for lack of a better term, “normal” governmental institutions are suborned by the same crooked players who profit from war and the ensuing chaos it spawns to organize crime, thereby “rationalizing” criminal structures on more favorable terms for those “in the loop.” In this regard, the impunity enjoyed up till now by Thaçi and his minions merely reflect the far-greater impunity enjoyed by the American secret state and the powerful actors amongst U.S. elites who have profited from the dirty work allegedly performed by Kosovo’s Prime Minister, and others like him, who are counted amongst the most loyal servants of imperial power.

UN knew about Kosovo organ trafficking, report says

16.2.2011 by admin.

 47 page NATO secret Report: http://www.mafialand.de/Members/juergen/pdf/kosovo%20-%20Haliti%20Xhavit.pdf, over the Top killer Mafia: Xhavit Halili, Hashim Thaci, Selimi, Haradinaj, Sabit Geci, Shajp Muja

By FRANCE 24 the 16/02/2011 - 18:08

A classified document obtained by FRANCE 24 suggests the United Nations knew about organ trafficking in postwar Kosovo as early as 2003, five years before prosecutors in The Hague first raised the issue.

 UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was expected to deliver a report on the situation in Kosovo to the Security Council in New York on Wednesday, reaffirming UN support for investigations into human organ trafficking during Kosovo’s postwar period.

But a classified document obtained by FRANCE 24 indicates the UN knew of trafficking well before the issue was first raised by Carla del Ponte, a former prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, in her memoirs published in 2008.

The report, dating from 2003, is an incomplete compilation of investigations carried out by UNMIK, the UN mission in Kosovo. It describes organ trafficking that took place from 1999 to 2000, immediately after Kosovo’s NATO-backed independence war.

The document, also obtained by the Italian news agency TMnews, details how senior commanders of the guerilla Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) obtained and trafficked organs out of Kosovo and Albania.

The alleged victims were mostly Serbian men, but also included young women from other Eastern European countries. They were taken to clandestine detention centres and private homes in Albania where their vital organs were extracted, leading to their death, the report says.

The classified document also describes cases of torture, execution and burial of Serbs as retribution for crimes committed against ethnic Albanians.

Withholding information?

The 2003 document has never been presented to the European Union’s police and justice mission in Kosovo (EULEX), which is in charge of investigating crimes committed during the war.

The first public allegations of organ trafficking by del Ponte gained little notice. But a report commissioned by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) – a prominent European human rights body – and authored by Swiss lawmaker Dick Marty in late 2010 gained much more attention.

At the time these crimes were allegedly happening, tens of thousands of troops were deployed in Kosovo by the UN, as well as the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe and NATO, to ensure the security of civilians.

Ausdrücklich wird erwähnt, das diese hoch kriminellen Verbrecher, direkte Verbindungen auch zum Premier Minister haben, also Fatos Nano damals und heute wie in 1998 und danach: Salih Berisha, was sowieso bewiesen ist, wie als Mentor Minister Ferdinand Xhaferie, dessen Mentor US Botschafter Josef Limprecht vom CIA ermordet wurde (Mitte Mai 2002), wegen diesen Verbrechen und wegen Drogen Handel und als Partner der Islamischen Terroristen und Bin Laden in Albanien.

Raporti sekret për trafikim organesh (2003)

Publikuar: Sot, më 16 shkurt 2011

 

Organizata e Kombeve të Bashkuara (OKB) ishte në dijeni për trafikimin e organeve të njerëzve që prej vitit 2003, pesë vjet para se të bëhej publike nga ish kryeprokuroja e Hagës, Carla del Ponte. Një dokument sekret i papërfunduar tërësisht i UNMIK-ut, që daton në vitin 2003, flet për vrasjet dhe trafikimin që është bërë pas hyrjes së NATO-së në Kosovë, vitet 1999-2000.
Dokumenti i siguruar nga disa media në Francë dhe Itali, dhe në Kosovë nga portali Indeksonline shkruan se si një ish komandant i UÇK-së ka pranuar para hetuesve të OKB-së për trafikimin e organeve që është bërë në Kosovë dhe Shqipëri.
Raporti thekson se “shumica e viktimave ishin serbë, por aty kanë qenë të përfshirë edhe femra të reja nga vendet e Evropës Lindore. Ato ishin mbajtur të mbyllura si klandestine në disa shtëpi në Shqipëri, ku u hiqeshin organet vitale, duke i dërguar drejt vdekjes”. Dokumenti sekret përshkruan raste të torturave, ekzekutimeve e formave të tjera të rrahjeve ndaj civilëve.
Dokumenti rreth 30 faqesh përshkruan se “në kampet e Burrelit llogaritet të kenë kaluar prej 100 deri në 300 njerëz. Prej 24 deri 100 u transferuan në afërsi të Burrelit në mesin e gushtit”.  Dokumenti përmend emrat e ish komandantëve të UÇK-së që kanë dëshmuar për këto veprimtari. Aty është lista me emrat e njerëzve që supozohet se u janë marrë organet, pastaj të vdekurit janë djegur.
“Gjithë operacioni  ishte i përkrahur nga një njeri që kishte lidhje me policinë sekrete të ish qeverisë së Sali Berishës”, shkruan raporti.
Në raport janë të përfshirë një sërë fotosh dhe emrash të njerëzve që supozohet se kanë kaluar nëpër këto burgje sekrete. Dokumenti ende nuk i është prezantuar Misionit të EULEX-it, i cili ka qenë i ndërlidhur me hetimet e mundshme për trafikim organesh të njerëzve. As OKB nuk ka reaguar ende për vërtetësinë e raportit dhe nëse ai me të vërtet mban vulën e OKB-së.

Leaked Testimonies of Alleged Organ Trade Surface

An internal UN document from 2003 shows that investigators obtained statements from KLA members which describe human organ harvesting by the Kosovo Army in Albania.

The authenticity of the document, which Balkan Insight has seen, has not yet been verified.

In the internal correspondence between ICTY officials and their UNMIK counterparts, the authors include information from interviews with eight sources who describe the process of transporting Serb captives from Kosovo to Albania, where organs were extracted from some and their remains buried.

The leaked document has surfaced two months after Europe’s top human rights investigator, Dick Marty, released a damning report alleging that a criminal network linked to Kosovo’s Prime Minister Hashim Thaci summarily executed prisoners and harvested their kidneys to sell for illicit organ transplants after the conflict in Kosovo.

Kosovo and Albanian officials have rejected the claims.

Marty’s report was adopted by the Council of Europe in January, and international bodies, as well as Serbian and Kosovo officials, have called for investigations into the allegations.

In the summary based on the eight interviews with KLA sources, ICTY officials wrote: “Beginning in mid-1999, and possibly earlier, between 100 and 300 people were abducted and taken by truck and van to detention facilities in or near the northern Albanian towns of Kukes and Tropoje.”

In August 1999, some of these captives (24-100), were transferred from northern Albania to detention facilities in central Albania, mainly near the town of Burrel (or Burreli) about 110 kilometres southwest of Kukes, the summary notes.

According to the witness statements, “the captives taken to central Albania were again moved, in small groups, to a private house south of Burrel that was set up as a makeshift clinic. There, medical equipment and personnel were used to extract body organs from the captives, who then died. Their remains were buried nearby.”

The witness accounts say that the organs were then transported to Rinas airport near Tirana (75km away) and flown abroad.

The document notes that some of the captives taken to the clinic near Burrel were women from Kosovo, Albania and eastern Europe, and the last delivery of captives was reportedly in spring or early summer 2000.

The witness accounts come from eight men, all ethnic Albanians from Kosovo or Montenegro who served in the KLA. They were tasked with transporting captives to Albania, including to the clinic in Burrel. Two sources say they participated in the burial of bodies, and one claims to have participated in the delivery of organs to the airport.

None of the sources say they witnessed the actual harvesting of organs.

All of the witnesses told the investigators that “the transport and surgical procedures were carried out with the knowledge and/or active involvement of mid-level or senior KLA officers, as well as doctors from Kosovo and abroad. The operation was supported by men with links to Albanian secret service operatives of the former government of Sali Berisha.”

No “Freedom Fighters”, Just Criminals and Thugs

On the preceding pages, the latest Drugs & Crime UN report offers a rarely accurate analysis of the situation among the ethnic Albanians (both next door to Serbia, in neighboring Albania, and in Serbia itself, mainly in the southern Kosovo province), which led to formation of the Albanian terrorist KLA (UCK) and to the terrorist attacks in Serbia — an unusually honest glimpse at the root-causes of Albanian insurrection and occupation of part of Serbia, impossible to find in the tons of worthless junk produced daily by the Western mainstream media.

The following excerpt effectively dismantles the pompous claims of heroic “struggle for freedom and independence” and disingenuous references to the “self-determination” of an ethnic group which has already exercised its right to self-determination with the formation of state of Albania.

No, it has nothing to do with “freedom”, “independence” or “self-determination”, it is all about illicit trade, crime without punishment, lawlessness, thuggery and insatiable greed.
Criminals, Terrorists or Politicians? In Kosovo-Metohija, all Three.

In December, the Council of Europe released a report alleging that Hashim Thaçi, the prime minister of Kosovo, is the leader of a criminal ring that smuggles contraband — including human organs — throughout Eastern Europe. While organ-trafficking stories are hardly new, Thaçi’s has a bizarre twist: According to the COE, the prime minister used money generated from human organ sales to cement his political power in Kosovo, and he continues to profit from the traffic, along with many members of his Cabinet.

…………
After the war, the organ extraction program gained a level of respectability through the development of the Medicus clinic, a hospital located near Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. Dr. Sonmez, who had been barred from practicing medicine in Turkey’s public health sector, went to work at the clinic, performing transplants for wealthy German, Polish, Canadian and Israeli patients. Donors came from Russia, Moldova, Kazakhstan and Turkey, where they were solicited with promises of huge payoffs.

In 2008, EULEX, the European Union’s legal mission in Kosovo, began an investigation into the clinic for its role in the organ trade. Recently, five doctors were indicted for “trafficking in human organs, organized crime, unlawful exercise of medical activities and abusing official authority.” In addition to claims that Medicus was illegally transplanting organs, it also was accused of cheating its donors: After removing their organs, the clinic allegedly refused to pay the donors, transporting them to the airport before they had fully recovered from their surgeries.

Kosovo: Europe’s Mafia State. Hub of the EU-NATO Drug Trail Kosovo’s Prime Minister Accused of Running Human Organ, Drug Trafficking Cartel By Tom Burghardt

Global Research, December 22, 2010

Antifascist Calling…

In another grim milestone for the United States and NATO, the Council of Europe (COE) released an explosive report last week, “Inhuman treatment of people and illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo.” The report charged that former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) boss and current Prime Minister, Hashim Thaçi, “is the head of a ‘mafia-like’ Albanian group responsible for smuggling weapons, drugs and human organs through eastern Europe,” The Guardian disclosed. According to a draft resolution unanimously approved December 16 in Paris, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights found compelling evidence of forced disappearances, organ trafficking, corruption and collusion between criminal gangs and “political circles” in Kosovo who just happen to be close regional allies of the United States. The investigation was launched by Dick Marty, the Parliamentary Assembly for the Council of Europe (PACE) special rapporteur for human rights who had conducted an exhaustive 2007 probe into CIA “black fights” in Europe. The PACE investigation gathered steam after allegations were published by former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Carla Del Ponte in her 2008 memoir. After it’s publication, Ms. Del Ponte was bundled off to Argentina by the Swiss government as her nation’s ambassador. Once there, the former darling of the United States who specialized in doling out victor’s “justice” to the losers of the Balkan wars, was conveniently silenced. A series of damning reports by the Center for Investigative Journalism (CIR), the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) and the BBC, confirmed Del Ponte’s allegations and spurred the Council to act. Reporting for the BBC, investigative journalist Michael Montgomery learned that political opponents of the KLA and Serb prisoners of war “simply vanished without a trace” into a secret prison “in the Albanian border town of Kukes.” According to sources who feared for their lives, including former KLA guerrillas, the BBC revealed that disappeared civilians “were Serbs and Roma seized by KLA soldiers and were being hidden away from Nato troops. The source believes the captives were sent across the border to Albania and killed.” In an uncanny echo of Nazi practices during the period of the Third Reich, The New York Times reported that “captives” were “‘filtered’ for their suitability as donors, based on sex, age, health conditions and ethnic origin. “We heard numerous references to captives’ not merely having been handed over, but also having been ‘bought’ and ’sold,’” the special rapporteur told the Times. “Some of the guards told investigators,” the Times reports, “that a few captives understood what was about to happen and ‘pleaded with their captors to be spared the fate of being chopped into pieces’.” Mercy was in short supply however, behind KLA lines. The report states: “As and when the transplant surgeons were confirmed to be in position and ready to operate, the captives were brought out of the ’safe house’ individually, summarily executed by a KLA gunman, and their corpses transported swiftly to the operating clinic.” Once organs were removed from the victims they were auctioned off to the highest bidder and sold by a global trafficking ring still operating today. The former prosecutor further alleged, The Guardian reported, that “she had been prevented from investigating senior KLA officials” who she claimed had “smuggled captive Serbs across the border into Albania, where their organs were harvested.” In a classic case of covering-up the crimes of low-level thugs to protect more powerful criminals, Del Ponte has charged that forensic evidence gathered by ICTY investigators at one of the northern Albania death houses was destroyed at The Hague. International Network This brisk underground trade didn’t end in 1999 however, when the break-away Serb province was occupied by NATO troops; on the contrary, operations expanded and grew even more profitable as Kosovo devolved into a protectorate of the United States. In fact, a trial underway in Pristina has revealed that “desperate Russians, Moldovans, Kazakhs and Turks were lured into the capital ‘with the false promise of payments’ for their kidneys,” The Guardian reported. It was a “growth industry” that fed on human misery. According to The Guardian, recipients “paid up to €90,000 (£76,400) for the black-market kidneys [and] included patients from Canada, Germany, Poland and Israel,” EU prosecutor Jonathan Ratel told the British paper. “Donors” however, were left holding the bag, lucky to escape with their lives. At the center of the scandal is the Medicus clinic. Located some six miles from downtown Pristina, Medicus was allegedly founded by university hospital urologist Dr Lutfi Dervishi, and a former permanent secretary of health, prosecutors claim, provided the clinic with a false license to operate. Two of the accused, The Guardian revealed, “are fugitives wanted by Interpol: Moshe Harel, an Israeli said to have matched donors with recipients, and Yusuf Sonmez, perhaps the world’s most renowned organ trafficker.” Prosecutors believe that Harel and Sonmez are the brains behind Medicus and that Shaip Muja, a former KLA “medical commander” who was based in Albania, may have overseen operations at the “clinic.” Muja remains a close confidante of Thaçi’s and, in an macabre twist, he is currently “a political adviser in the office of the prime minister, with responsibility for health,” The Guardian reports. Investigators averred they had “uncovered numerous convergent indications of Muja’s central role [in] international networks, comprising human traffickers, brokers of illicit surgical procedures, and other perpetrators of organised crime.” Besides lining the pockets of Albanian, Israeli and Turkish criminals who ran the grisly trafficking ring, whose interests might also be served in covering-up these horrific crimes? A Gangster State, but which One? The veil of secrecy surrounding KLA atrocities could not have been as complete as it was without the intervention of powerful actors, particularly amongst political and military elites in Germany and the United States who had conspired with local gangsters, rebranded as “freedom fighters,” during the break-up of Yugoslavia. As in Albania years before NATO’s Kosovo adventure, organized criminal activities and “the trade in narcotics and weapons [were] allowed to prosper,” Michel Chossudovsky wrote, because “the West had turned a blind eye.” These extensive deliveries of weapons were tacitly permitted by the Western powers on geopolitical grounds: both Washington and Bonn had favoured (although not officially) the idea of a ‘Greater Albania’ encompassing Albania, Kosovo and parts of Macedonia. Not surprisingly, there was a ‘deafening silence’ on the part of the international media regarding the Kosovo arms-drugs trade. (”The Criminalization of Albania,” in Masters of the Universe? NATO’s Balkan Crusade, ed. Tariq Ali, London: Verso, 2000, pp. 299-300) The consequences of this “deafening silence” remain today. Both in terms of the misery and impoverishment imposed on Kosovo’s citizens by the looting of their social property, particularly the wholesale privatization of its mineral wealth which IMF economic “reforms” had spawned, and in the political cover bestowed upon Pristina’s gangster regime by the United States. In the intervening years NATO’s “blind eye” has morphed into something more sinister: outright complicity with their Balkan protégés. Virtually charging the ICTY with knuckling under to political pressure from the Americans, the PACE report states that “the ICTY, which had started to conduct an initial examination on the spot to establish the existence of traces of possible organ trafficking, dropped the investigation.” “The elements of proof taken in Rripe, in Albania” during that initial inquiry investigators wrote, “have been destroyed and cannot therefore be used for more detailed analyses. No subsequent investigation has been carried out into a case nevertheless considered sufficiently serious by the former ICTY Prosecutor for her to see the need to bring it to public attention through her book.” This is hardly surprising, considering that the ICTY was created at the insistence of the Clinton administration precisely as a retributive hammer to punish official enemies of the U.S. Hailed as an objective body by media enablers of America’s imperial project, with few exceptions, while it relentlessly hunted down alleged Serbian war criminals–the losers in the decade-long conflagration–it studiously ignored proxy forces, including the KLA, under the operational control of German and American intelligence agencies. The report averred that human organ trafficking was only a part of a larger web of crime and corruption, and that murder, trafficking in women, control over global narcotics distribution and money laundering networks were standard operating procedure for Thaçi and other members of the “Drenica group,” the black widows at the center of the KLA spiders’ web. For his part, Thaçi has called the PACE report “libelous” and the Kosovo government has repudiated the Council’s findings claiming that the charges “were not based on facts and were construed to damage the image of Kosovo and the war of the Kosovo Liberation Army.” While one can easily dismiss prevarications from Kosovo’s government, the White House role in covering-up the crimes of their client regime should have provoked a major scandal. That it didn’t only reveals the depths of Washington’s own venal self-interest in preventing this sordid affair from gaining traction. In  all likelihood fully-apprised of the Council of Europe’s investigation through any number of American-friendly moles implanted in European institutions as WikiLeaks Cablegate files have revealed, last summer Thaçi met with U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden at the White House. Shamelessly, Biden “reaffirmed the United States’ full support for an independent, democratic, whole, and multi-ethnic Kosovo,” and “reiterated the United States’ firm support for Kosovo’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” according to a White House press release. Indeed, the vice president “welcomed the progress that Kosovo’s government has made in carrying out essential reforms, including steps to strengthen the rule of law.” An all too predictable pattern when one considers the lawless nature of the regime in Washington. The Heroin Trail As I reported more than two years ago in “Welcome to Kosovo! The World’s Newest Narco State,” the KLA served as the militarized vanguard for the Albanian mafia whose “15 Families” control virtually every facet of the Balkan heroin trade. Albanian traffickers ship heroin originating exclusively from Central Asia’s Golden Crescent. At one end lies America’s drug outpost in Afghanistan where poppy is harvested for processing and transshipment through Iran and Turkey; as morphine base it is then refined into “product” for worldwide consumption. From there it passes into the hands of the Albanian syndicates who control the Balkan Route. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported back in 1999, “Kosovars were the acknowledged masters of the trade, credited with shoving aside the Turkish gangs that had long dominated narcotics trafficking along the Balkan Route, and effectively directing the ethnic Albanian network.” As the murdered investigative journalist Peter Klebnikov reported in 2000 for Mother Jones, as the U.S.-sponsored war in Kosovo heated up, “the drug traffickers began supplying the KLA with weapons procured from Eastern European and Italian crime groups in exchange for heroin. The 15 Families also lent their private armies to fight alongside the KLA. Clad in new Swiss uniforms and equipped with modern weaponry, these troops stood out among the ragtag irregulars of the KLA. In all, this was a formidable aid package.” Despite billions of dollars spent on failed interdiction efforts, these patterns persist today as more than 106 metric tons of heroin flow into Europe. So alarmed has the Russian government become over the flood of heroin penetrating their borders from Central Asian and the Balkan outposts that some officials have likened it to American “narco-aggression” and a new “opium war, researcher Peter Dale Scott reported. Scott avers: “These provinces” in Afghanistan, “support the past and present CIA assets in the Karzai regime (headed by Hamid Karzai, a former CIA asset), including the president’s brother Ahmed Wali Karzai, an active CIA asset, and Abdul Rashid Dostum, a former CIA asset. In effect America has allied itself with one drug faction in Afghanistan against another.” Much the same can be said for CIA assets in Pristina. As the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) published in their 2010 World Drug Report: Once heroin leaves Turkish territory, interception efficiency drops significantly. In the Balkans, relatively little heroin is seized, suggesting that the route is exceedingly well organized and lubricated with corruption. … Another notable feature of the Balkan route is that some important networks have clan-based and hierarchically organized structures. Albanian groups in particular have such structures, making them particularly hard to infiltrate. This partially explains their continued involvement in several European heroin markets. Albanian networks continue to be particularly visible in Greece, Italy and Switzerland. Italy is one of the most important heroin markets in Europe, and frequently identified as a base of operation for Balkan groups who exploit the local diaspora. According to WCO seizure statistics, Albanians made up the single largest group (32%) of all arrestees for heroin trafficking in Italy between 2000 and 2008. The next identified group was Turks followed by Italians and citizens of Balkan countries (Bulgaria, Kosovo/Serbia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and to some extent Greece). A number of Pakistani and Nigerian traffickers were arrested in Italy as well. As has been documented for decades, U.S. destabilization programs and covert operations rely on far-right provocateurs and drug lords (often interchangeable players) to facilitate the dirty work. Throughout its Balkan campaign the CIA made liberal use of these preexisting narcotics networks to arm the KLA and then provide them with targets. When NATO partners Germany and the U.S. decided to drive a stake through Yugoslavia’s heart during the heady days of post-Cold War triumphalism, their geopolitical strategy could not have achieved “success” without the connivance, indeed active partnership forged amongst Yugoslavia’s nationalist rivals. As investigative journalist Misha Glenny has shown, Most shocking of all, however, is how the gangsters and politicians fueling war between their peoples were in private cooperating as friends and close business partners. The Croat, Bosnian, Albanian, Macedonian, and Serb moneymen and mobsters were truly thick as thieves. They bought, sold, and exchanged all manner of commodities, knowing that the high levels of personal trust between them were much stronger than the transitory bonds of hysterical nationalism. They fomented this ideology among ordinary folk in essence to mask their own venality. As one commentator described it, the new republics were ruled by “a parastate Cartel which had emerged from political institutions, the ruling Communist Party and its satellites, the military, a variety of police forces, the Mafia, court intellectuals and with the president of the Republic at the center of the spider web…Tribal nationalism was indispensable for the cartel as a means to pacify its subordinates and as a cover for the uninterrupted privatization of the state apparatus. (McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Criminal Underworld, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2008, p. 27) Thaçi and other members of his inner circle, Marty avers, were “commonly identified, and cited in secret intelligence reports,” published by the German secret state agency, the Bundesnachrichtendienst or BND “as the most dangerous of the KLA’s ‘criminal bosses’.” Trading on American protection to consolidate political power, thus maintaining control over key narcotics smuggling corridors, the special rapporteur writes that “having succeeded in eliminating, or intimidating into silence, the majority of the potential and actual witnesses against them (both enemies and erstwhile allies), using violence, threats, blackmail, and protection rackets,” Thaçi’s Drenica Group have “exploit[ed] their position in order to accrue personal wealth totally out of proportion with their declared activities.” Indeed, multiple reports prepared by the U.S. DEA, FBI, the BND, Italy’s SISMI, Britain’s MI6 and the Greek EYP intelligence service have stated that Drenica Group members “are consistently named as ‘key players’ in intelligence reports on Kosovo’s mafia-like structures of organised crime.” As the Council of Europe and investigative journalists have documented, northern Albania was the site not only of KLA training camps but of secret detention centers where prisoners of war and civilian KLA opponents were executed and their organs surgically removed and sold on the international black market. “The reality is that the most significant operational activities undertaken by members of the KLA–prior to, during, and in the immediate aftermath of the conflict–took place on the territory of Albania, where the Serb security forces were never deployed.” The report avers, “It is well established that weapons and ammunition were smuggled into parts of Kosovo, often on horseback, through clandestine, mountainous routes from northern Albania,” the site of secret NATO bases, “yet only in the second half of 1998,” Marty writes, “through explicit endorsements from Western powers, founded on strong lobbying from the United States, did the KLA secure its pre-eminence in international perception as the vanguard of the Kosovar Albanian liberation struggle.” “What is particularly confounding” Marty writes, “is that all of the international community in Kosovo–from the Governments of the United States and other allied Western powers, to the EU-backed justice authorities–undoubtedly possess the same, overwhelming documentation of the full extent of the Drenica Group’s crimes, but none seems prepared to react in the face of such a situation and to hold the perpetrators to account.” While the special rapporteur’s outrage is palpable, the ascension of a political crime family with deep roots in the international drugs trade and other rackets, including the grisly traffic in human organs, far from being an anomalous event conforms precisely to the structural pattern of capitalist rule in the contemporary period. “What we have uncovered” Marty informs us, “is of course not completely unheard-of. The same or similar findings have long been detailed and condemned in reports by key intelligence and police agencies, albeit without having been followed up properly, because the authors’ respective political masters have preferred to keep a low profile and say nothing, purportedly for reasons of ‘political expediency’. But we must ask what interests could possibly justify such an attitude of disdain for all the values that are invariably invoked in public?” Marty need look no further for an answer to his question than to the “political masters” in Washington, who continue to cover-up not only their own crimes but those of the global mafias who do their bidding. As we have seen throughout the latter half of the 20th century down to the present moment, powerful corporate and financial elites, the military and intelligence agencies and, for lack of a better term, “normal” governmental institutions are suborned by the same crooked players who profit from war and the ensuing chaos it spawns to organize crime, thereby “rationalizing” criminal structures on more favorable terms for those “in the loop.” In this regard, the impunity enjoyed up till now by Thaçi and his minions merely reflect the far-greater impunity enjoyed by the American secret state and the powerful actors amongst U.S. elites who have profited from the dirty work allegedly performed by Kosovo’s Prime Minister, and others like him, who are counted amongst the most loyal servants of imperial power.

Is the mud sticking?

Feb 24th 2011, 16:17 by T.J. | TIRANA

KOSOVO marked the third anniversary of its independence on February 17th in sombre mood. Only last July the country’s leaders were riding high last year in the wake of an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice that its declaration of independence had not been illegal. Now their reputations are in tatters.

First came allegations of fraud in last December’s elections, which angered its strongest supporter, the United States. Soon afterwards, a report produced by Dick Marty, a Swiss politician and former prosecutor, made lurid claims about the involvement of Kosovo’s leadership in organised crime. In the last few days two new  documents [PDF: download site] have come to light that appear to bolster the most nightmarish of those allegations.

First, a disclaimer. In Balkan politics, the dictum, “if you are not with us, you are against us” usually applies. Some readers have attacked this blog simply for reporting on the Marty affair. As a fog of confusion, claims and counter-claims swirls over the allegations laid against Kosovo’s leaders, we lay out here what is already known about the issue, and what is new.

The allegations

Last December, Mr Marty delivered a  report to the Council of Europe that alleged that Hashim Thaçi, who has just begun a second term as Kosovo’s prime minister, was close to people who, after the 1999 Kosovo war, had kidnapped some 500 Serbs, Albanians and others, all of whom were eventually killed. Some of them, the report claimed, were murdered so that their organs could be harvested and sold. Mr Thaçi has vigorously denied the claims.

Mr Marty’s allegations were not new. Their first public outing was in a 2008 book by Carla Del Ponte, the former prosecutor of the UN war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague (ICTY), and Chuck Sudetic, a former ICTY analyst.

Now, however, documents have been leaked to the Serbian press that appear to strengthen Mr Marty’s claims. They contain transcripts of original interviews with witnesses gathered by a key source known to me and handed over confidentially in 2003 to the then UN administration in Kosovo (UNMIK). The witnesses in the documents are quoted as saying they believed kidnapped Serbs and others had been killed for their organs.

At the time there was no corroboration for these claims. But they did inspire UNMIK investigators and a team from the ICTY to visit, in February 2004, the now-infamous “yellow house” in rural north Albania, near the town of Burrel, where the witnesses said the killings had taken place.

A forensic report [PDF: download site] produced by UNMIK says that the team found traces of blood at the yellow house, but that these did not constitute “conclusive evidence” of criminal acts. Neither ICTY nor UNMIK undertook a search for bodies, and no full criminal investigation was ever undertaken. Yet the traces, as well as medical paraphernalia found outside the house, could have been considered to be corroborative physical evidence of the claims made in the witness statements we now know about.

Why did UNMIK shelve the case? Political expediency, basically. It had to work with the men implicated by the witnesses on a daily basis. The implications of what a criminal investigation might uncover horrified those in the UN charged with building a modern and stable administration in the post-war territory.

As for the ICTY, its prosecutors concluded that, even if crimes had been committed, they were beyond their jurisdiction because the had taken place after the Kosovo war had ended. Several years later, in a mysterious and embarrassing move for which it has never been properly taken to task, the ICTY destroyed the physical evidence collected at the yellow house. Had it been kept it might have yielded the DNA samples critical for a full criminal investigation.

As Mr Sudetic notes, because neither UNMIK nor the ICTY pursued the case, they were able to claim that they had no evidence to support the allegations. This was not, however, the case for Mr Marty, who conducted a much more thorough investigation. Albanians and others say that Mr Marty was opposed to Kosovo’s declaration of independence, and claim his report is part of a campaign to smear the new state.

Mr Marty has also been attacked for not revealing details about his sources. He says their lives would be in danger if their identities were known. How convenient, retort the sceptics.

The new evidence

But the new documents will dismay Mr Marty’s critics. They make for sickening reading about what happened in Albania after the war (although it is important to acknowledge that the claims they contain have never been tested by a proper criminal investigation). They also include details of the witnesses’ identities, although not their names.

The first document is dated October 30th 2003. It is an internal ICTY text containing an annex with the witness statements gathered by the external source that had been sent to it by UNMIK. The second, dated December 12th 2003, is from the director of UNMIK’s department of justice.

A summary of the witness statements in the first document states that between June and October 1999, 100-300 people, mostly Serb men, were abducted and taken to Albania. Between 24 and 100 of them were then taken to secondary detention centres, from where they were moved again to a “makeshift clinic” where “medical equipment and personnel were used to extract body organs from the captives, who then died.” The organs were then taken to Tirana airport and flown to Turkey and other destinations.

The document states that the witnesses were all ethnic Albanians who had served in the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Four of them had been involved in the transport of at least 90 Serbs to central and northern Albania. Three of them delivered captives to the “house/clinic” near Burrel (the yellow house), the document states, two of them said they had helped dispose of human remains near the house, and one said he delivered body parts to Tirana airport.

The document also notes that none of the sources claimed to have witnessed the medical procedures. But they all claim that the operations and the transport of body parts took place with at least the knowledge, and in some cases the active involvement, of mid- to senior-level KLA officers.

At one point, the document quotes the sources as saying that: “The operation was supported by men with links to Albanian secret police operatives of the former government of Salih Berisha.” Mr Berisha is, again, Albania’s prime minister today.

The names

Significantly, the new documents do not mention Mr Thaçi’s name. But they mention Ramush Haradinaj and his brother Daut. Mr Haradinaj is a former KLA commander and prime minister of Kosovo. In 2008 he was acquitted of war crimes by the ICTY, but he is now being retried on some counts after the prosecution successfully alleged witness intimidation.

Mr Haradinaj is a political foe of Mr Thaçi. The details revealed in the new documents might cheer the prime minister, as they appear to shift responsibility from his shoulders to Mr Haradinaj’s.

But as the evidence they contain was not used in Mr Haradinaj’s original war-crimes trial, it seems likely that prosecutors felt they were unable to stand up the claims. Moreover, Mr Haradinaj’s name does not appear in Mr Marty’s report. The situation remains murky.

The EU’s police and justice mission in Kosovo, EULEX, is to investigate Mr Marty’s claims, which go far beyond those of organ trafficking. But the new documents are unlikely to help in the search for justice. One well-placed source says that the hunt is already on in Kosovo to identify the witnesses.

After the leaks, anyone with knowledge of these events is unlikely to testify unless they receive guarantees of protection for years to come, including new identities and relocation abroad. That is a tragedy.

Everyone needs to know, once and for all, where the truth lies in this story, not least the families of the disappeared, as well as Kosovars whose leaders are now increasingly isolated internationally—in part thanks to these allegations.

“The Economist”: SHIK-u i Berishës në trafikun e organeve

Prestigjiozja britanike, në një shkrim të publikuar sot, rimerr çështjen e trafikut të organeve. Ajo shkruan se reputacioni i Kosovës është dëmtuar rëndë pas këtyre akuzave. Por dy dokumente të dala në dritë së fundmi, që publikohen nga “The Economist” janë tepër të rëndë. “Këto dokumente do alarmojnë edhe kritikët më të mëdhenj të Martit,” shkruan e përjavshmja. Sipas saj, bëhet fjalë për një dokument të tribunalit të Hagës dhe një tjetër të UNMIK.

Dokumentet japin të dhëna për trafikun e organeve. Por dy gjëra bien në sy: së pari sepse në dokument flitet për Ramush Haradinajn, e vëllain e tij, dhe së dyti dokumenti sekret thotë se “operacionet bëheshin me mbështetjen e operativëve të policisë sekrete të ish- qeverisë së Sali Berishës”.

“The Economist” thotë se që tani ka nisur gjuetia ndaj këtyre dëshmitarëve dhe panorama është e zezë. “Kjo është tragjedi,” shkruan “The Economist”, “pasi të gjithë tashmë duam të dimë të vërtetën, jo vetëm ata njerëz që kanë humbur të afërmit”.

Schizo Rente in der Schweiz, Bin Laden Freund - Ali Ahmeti Mazedoniens Idiot Nr. 1 randaliert wieder

14.2.2011 by Atahualpa.

In jeder möglichst dummen Schweinerei ist Ali Ahmeti dabei und er hatte auch schon mal Einreise Verbot in die EU und USA. Hier erklärt der vollkommen verblödete Ali Ahmeti, das Alexander der Grosse, ein Albaner gewesen sei, wobei ignoriert wird, das damals keine Albaner in Europa lebten, noch in der historischen Geschichte überhaupt erwähnt wurden.

Eight Injured in Clashes over ‘Church’ Construction in Macedonia

Rival Macedonian and Albanian protesters clashed on Sunday at Skopje’s fortress over the controversial construction of a museum in the form of a church, leaving several injured.

Skopje

Witnesses say that a fight broke out between ethnic Macedonians, who were supporting the building of the museum-church, and ethnic Albanians, who are opposed to the project, on Sunday afternoon.

Stones were thrown, and police said that eight people were injured in the incident, including two police officers. One person was seriously injured, and remains in hospital.

The situation in and around the Skopje fortress on Monday is calm, with a visible increase in police presence.

The plan to build a museum in the style of a medieval church at the fortress in Macedonia’s capital has ignited the country’s tense ethnic relations.

Nearly all ethnic Albanian political parties and organisations have labelled the project as a provocation from the ruling, conservative government of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. Some have called for the construction of a mosque at the same location.

Following the clashes, the opposition and ruling parties traded blame over the incident.

In a joint statement, the ruling coalition partners, the centre-right VMRO DPMNE and the junior ethnic Albanian party, the Democratic Union for Integration, DUI, condemned the incident and appealed for calm.

“These sensitive issues should be solved only with open political dialogue through institutions,” the statement reads. “We assure you that the nurturing of the cultural rights and heritage of all ethnic communities remains a priority for both parties,” it added.

Meanwhile, the opposition Social Democrats asked for the resignation of Police Minister Gordana Jankulovska and her deputy Xhevat Buci for failing to prevent the incident. The party also urged the government to sack Pasko Kuzman, the head of the agency for the protection of cultural heritage, which launched the controversial construction.

“If they fail to do this they will admit that they deliberately fuel ethnic tensions in order to divert attention from the economic drought and poverty, crime and corruption,” the Social Democrats spokesman Emilijan Stankovic told media late on Sunday.

The clashes on Sunday came after previously a group of people, led by high-ranking officials from the DUI, the biggest ethnic Albanian party in the country, forcibly entered the fortress and started demolishing the construction site late on Friday.

The action was condemned by Gruevski and his VMRO DPMNE party.

The museum was being constructed on the foundations of a recently excavated 14th-century Orthodox church in the old fortress that dominates the skyline of the capital.

The style and location of the building stirred suspicions among Albanians, who saw it as an attempt by the Christian Macedonian majority to gain a foothold in what the mainly Muslim Albanians see as their side of town.

The row over the museum recalled the heated discussions of 2009 and 2010 about whether the state should build an Orthodox church in the centre of Skopje, near the main square.

All ethnic Albanian parties and many Albanian NGOs conditioned support for the church with the parallel erection of a mosque at a nearby location.

The authorities eventually abandoned the idea to build a church but gave the site to the Orthodox Church, which has since remained silent about the possible start of construction.

More Ethnic Clashes Feared in Macedonia

Authorities are worried that Sunday’s clashes in the capital, Skopje, between ethnic Albanians and Macedonians may be repeated this weekend, as extremists on both sides use Facebook to summon supporters for a second round.

Sinisa Jakov Marusic

SkopjeThe violent scenes seen in the heart of Skopje have sparked a wave of hate-speech on Facebook, with ethnic Albanian and Macedonian hard-liners calling for renewed violence this Saturday.

Eight people were injured on Sunday when rival Macedonian and Albanian protesters scuffled over the controversial construction of a museum being erected on the foundations of a medieval church at the fortress in Skopje.

The fortress lies adjacent to the ethnic Albanian area of the city and many Albanians fear the new museum will be handed over to the Orthodox Church for active use.

“My Macedonian brothers, on Saturday we will have our revenge,” one Facebook group says, adding that it is time for “the final battle to eradicate the Shiptars”. “Shiptar” is a derogatory term for an Albanian.

Another Facebook profile, opened by Albanians opposed to the museum, says that “only a massacred Macedonian is a good caurin”. The word “caurin” is a derogatory for a member of the country’s Macedonian majority.

Police said they were taking action. Officers had been deployed around the site of the museum.

“We have officially informed Facebook of the existence of these profiles and groups who spread ethnic and religious intolerance and have asked for their closure,” police spokesman Ivo Kotevski told Balkan Insight.

Kotevski said that police will also pursue the owners of the IP addresses that host such insults and they have compiled lists of Facebook users who have answered calls to participate in future violent gatherings.

Roberto Belicanec, from the Skopje-based Media Development Center, an NGO, said the display of ethnic hatred on the internet was disappointing.

“While social networks are used in the Arab world to overthrow semi-dictatorships, in Macedonia they provide an outlet for hatred.” Belicanec urges the use of swift sanctions against those encouraging violence.

Macedonia suffered a short-lived armed conflict in 2001 between ethnic Albanian insurgents and the security forces. The country escaped all-out ethnic conflict after both sides signed a peace deal in Ohrid granting greater rights to Albanians, who make up about one-quarter of the population.

Südosteuropa | 06.07.2004
Tageszeitung “Fakti” beklagt drastische Zunahme der Gewaltkriminalität in den Albanergebieten Mazedoniens

Wo Albaner auftauchen, erkaufen sich Mafiöse Clan in die Politik ein und oft mit extrem gefährlichen Verbrechern u.a. der Deutschen SPD und FES, welche diese Zustände mit Geld fördern. Man gründet dann schnell mal einen Verein in Deutschland, um von den wahren Aktivitäten wie Schleusertum abzulenken.

Skopje, 1.7.2004, FAKTI, alban.

Tetova (Tetovo – MD) ist das europäische Epizentrum für Morde geworden, während Shkup (Skopje – MD) berüchtigt für Raubüberfälle und andere Formen der Gewaltkriminalität geworden ist. Ohne sich im Geringsten zu schämen, haben sich Menschen bei der Polizei mit Aussagen wie: “Drei Gangs, eine davon bestehend aus Kosovaren, operieren in Cair”. Mehr (? als die Aussagen aufzunehmen?) unternimmt die Polizei nicht.

Die Angriffe gehen weiter. Geschäftsleute werden am hellen Tag überfallen und in Angst und Schrecken versetzt, Augenzeugen geben an, in Jahja Pasha und anderen, von Albanern bewohnten Stadteilen von Shkup Menschen mit Pistolen, Kalaschnikows, Scoprpions und anderen Arten von Schusswaffen gesehen zu haben. Im albanischen Teil von Shkup häufen sich Szenen, die man nur in Wildwestfilmen erwartet und niemand unternimmt etwas, um das zu stoppen. In der Zwischenzeit setzt sich die Angst in den Herzen der Menschen fest.

Interessanterweise werden nur Albaner angegriffen, und die Angreifer sind ausschließlich Albaner, eine für die andere Seite sehr günstige Lage, denn sie freut sich, dass ihre Vorhersagen eintreffen.

Die Peinlichkeit des Taxifahrers: Joschka Fischers // Maulwurf des Verfassungschutzes

13.2.2011 by HoisseBig.

 Wenn kriminelle Idioten, sogar in Deutschland Minister werden können und ihre Dummheit vertuschen, weil man sich mit noch Dümmeren umgibt.

Professor Joseph (Joschka) Fischer: Jetzt rechne ich mit Gasprom-Schröder ab

Dr. Alexander vonPaleske — — Folgende E-Mail fand ich heute in meiner Mailbox:

Professor h.c. Joseph (Joschka) Fischer
Prominentenallee 68
Berlin

13.2. 2011

Guten Abend Deutschland,

gerade ist der erste Teil des Vorabdrucks meiner Memoiren im Spiegel erschienen, da haben sich schon briefkorbweise wohl- und übelmeinende Kritiküsse zu Wort gemeldet.

Leider fand ich darunter auch solche:

- Da sieht man deutlich, was diesem grünen Schleimer und Opportunisten Moral wert war/ist. Er hätte die Bürger wahrscheinlich - genauso wie das Merkel auch wollte - in den Krieg geschickt. Wie gut, daß ich den Grünen längst den Rücken gekehrt habe.

- Fischer ist ein Schleimer, war ein Schleimer, bleibt ein Schleimer. Es gibt kein Spiegel in den er schauen kann, vorher geht dieser. Eine weiche 68 Generation er ist ein nichts.

- Der Taxifahrer wollte Weltpolitiker spielen. Sieben Jahre ist ihm das sogar gelungen. Da er aber komplett von Madame Albright eingesackt war, konnte er nur nach amerikanischer Vorgabe auflaufen.

- Zwei Hasadeure die Deutschland schwer geschadet haben und zwangsvergessen sind. Fischer sollte sein Buch einen Toilettenpapierhersteller anbieten damit sich am Ende zwei gleiche Komponenten vereinigen.

- Jetzt beschmiert er auch noch unschuldiges Papier - abstoßend, der Fischer und Schläger der Nation.

- Muß denn jeder Dödel hier im Land seine Mmoiren schreiben? Ausgerechnet auch noch ein Hausbesetzer übelster Sorte, Polizistenprügler und Steinewerfer. Heute würde man so einen Typen Terroristen nennen. Und übrigens, warum regt er sich darüber eigentlich auf? Wollte er gerne im Irak-Krieg mitmachen dieser Verräter? Ich würde so manchem in diesem Land mal raten, sie sollten besser doch mal die Klappe haltn

Bevor ich auf diese extrem unsachliche und völlig daneben liegende Kritik eingehe, ein paar Vorbemerkungen:

Ich habe es für erforderlich gehalten, nach dem 1. Teil meiner Memoiren, die vor ein paar Jahren unter dem Titel:

„Mein Langlauf zu mir selbst von links nach rechts - Bekenntnisse eines ehemaligen Putzgruppenmitglieds“

erschienen, nun den zweiten Teil meines politisch ach so bedeutungsvollen und Ehe-reichen Lebens einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt zu machen.

Das war insbesondere geboten, weil ich nach meinem Abschied vom Amte des Bundesaußenministers (der beste, den Deutschland je hatte), etwas aus dem Rampenlicht der Öffentlichkeit und der Medien - abgesehen von der Regenbogenpresse - verschwunden war. Ein derartiger Zustand ist natürlich für ein „politisches Alpha Tier“ , wie ich es nun einmal war – und bin - nur schlecht zu verknusen.

In meinem neuen Memoirenband werde ich im Einzelnen darlegen, wie ich zum engen Freund der damaligen US- Außenministerin Madeleine Albright wurde, insbesondere nachdem ich es geschafft hatte, mit dem (an den Haaren herbeigezogenen) Auschwitz-Vergleich den Einsatz der Bundeswehr im Jugoslawienkrieg zu rechtfertigen.

Meine “Lehrmeisterin” - Madeleine Albright

Das führte dazu, dass meine „grüne Kinderschar“ im Bundestag – abgesehen von dem Berufsnörgler Ströbele - sich auf meine US-Seite schlug.

Deutsche Exporte in die USA lagen mir am Herzen
Dabei war natürlich wichtig, dass die USA für viele deutsche Großkonzerne, darunter auch BMW, für die ich jetzt als “Klinkenputzer” unterwegs bin, ein extrem wichtiger Markt ist, und gute Beziehungen mit den USA daher von essentieller Bedeutung sind.

Das wäre auch beim Irakkrieg gutgegangen, wäre mir nicht der Gasprom-Schröder mit seiner voreiligen strikten Ablehnung einer deutschen Teilnahme an einem Irakkrieg auf einer Wahlkampfrede in Goslar in den Rücken gefallen.

Das habe ich ihm bis heute nicht verziehen.

Ich schreibe daher in meinen hochwichtigen, und zum Geschichtsverständnis extrem bedeutsamen Memoiren:

„Damit war unser Spielraum im Sicherheitsrat auf null reduziert worden. Durch die Rede des Kanzlers befanden wir uns in einer Situation des „Alles oder Nichts’, und genau eine solche Lage hatte ich immer vermeiden wollen. Kurzum, ich war bedient, und zwar richtig.“

Es folgten in den Tagen danach verschiedene, längere Vier-Augen-Gespräche mit Schröder, in denen ich meine Furcht vor einer möglichen Isolation der deutschen Regierung im Sicherheitsrat erläuterte. Sollte Frankreich und vielleicht auch Russland und China auf unserer Seite sein, so hätten wir kein Problem. Was aber, wenn wir mit unserem Nein am Ende allein mit Syrien dastünden?

Im Vertrauen: Das ist natürlich nur vorgeschoben, denn wir wussten durch unsere Geheimdienst-Informationen längst, dass weder Frankreich, noch China im Traume daran dachten, ihr Plazet zu geben.

Auch wussten wir natürlich über den BND, dass im Irak keinerlei Massenvernichtungswaffen vorhanden waren, und die USA ein Lügengebäude zurechtzimmerten.

Aber ein bisschen Geschichtsklitterung muss auch bei solchen Memoiren dabei sein, um mich in einem besonders positiven Licht erscheinen zu lassen.

Mehr möchte ich jetzt noch nicht verraten, denn es soll ja ein Bestseller werden.

Ich sage jetzt erst einmal: Gute Nacht Deutschland, Ihr dürft Euch auf meine Memoiren 2. Teil freuen.

Euer stets aufrechter Ex-Außenminister

Ziemlich logisch sind die Ausführungen von Jutta Dittfurth, wie auch Dritte und die echten Grünen um Petra Kelly, Bastian, Röstel fertig gemacht wurden. Vor kurzem verliess auch noch eine der letzten Uralt Grünen die Grünen Partei.

Fischer war der Maulwurf des Verfassungsschutzes und hat als solcher Karriere gemacht. Was wir als

war demnach eine bewußte BfV-Aktion, bei der der grünen Bewegung

Pädophile Vergangenheit des Daniel Cohn-Bendit
Der Kinderschänder
Von Thomas Meier, Zürich

Erschreckende Tatsachen treten zutage, wenn man frühere Veröffentlichungen Daniel Cohn- Bendits genauer studiert. Der damalige militante Achtundsechziger, Wortführer der anti- autoritären Studentenbewegung in Frankreich und Deutschland und heutige prominente Grünen-Abgeordnete im Europa-Parlament, beschrieb in seinem Memoiren-Band «Der grosse Basar» ausführlich seine sexuellen Erlebnisse mit fünfjährigen Kindern.

Der als einer der Führer der Studentenbewegung Ende der sechziger und der siebziger Jahre berühmt gewordene Politiker Daniel Cohn-Bendit, heute Europa-Abgeordneter der Grünen, hat im Jahre 1975 unter dem Titel «Der grosse Basar» ein heute in Vergessenheit geratenes Buch veröffentlicht, mit dem er nach eigenen Worten seine «Bestandsaufnahmen und Schlussfolgerungen aus der Geschichte der letzten zehn Jahre» zu Papier brachte. Es ist der «Schweizerzeit» gelungen, ein Exemplar des längst vergriffenen Memoirenbands aufzutreiben. Was Cohn-Bendit darin niedergeschrieben hat, lässt jedem auch nur mit einer Spur von moralischem Anstand und sittlichem Empfinden ausgestatteten Leser den Atem stocken. Nachstehend einige Ausschnitte aus dem Kapitel «Little Big Men», veröffentlicht auf Seite 139 bis 147 des genannten Buchs, im unveränderten Originalwortlaut:

……….
Mein ständiger Flirt mit allen Kindern nahm bald erotische Züge an. Ich konnte richtig fühlen, wie die kleinen Mädchen von fünf Jahren schon gelernt hatten, mich anzumachen. Es ist kaum zu glauben. Meist war ich ziemlich entwaffnet. (…)

Es ist mir mehrmals passiert, dass einige Kinder meinen Hosenlatz geöffnet und angefangen haben, mich zu streicheln. Ich habe je nach den Umständen unterschiedlich reagiert, aber ihr Wunsch stellte mich vor Probleme. Ich habe sie gefragt: “Warum spielt ihr nicht untereinander, warum habt ihr mich ausgewählt und nicht andere Kinder?” Aber wenn sie darauf bestanden, habe ich sie dennoch gestrei- chelt.»
…………………

Cohn-Bendits Stellungnahme tönt nach Rechtfertigung. Treffend hält Klaus Kinkel am 1. Februar 2001 in der Zeitung «B.Z.» in einer Replik zu Cohn-Bendits Reaktion fest, dass, wer nur einen kleinen Funken Verantwortung habe, in einer so ungeheuerlichen Sache nicht nach Rechtfertigung suchen dürfe. Der selbsterklärte grosse Moralisierer der Achtundsechziger habe sich mit seiner Reaktion jetzt entlarvt. Die schrecklichen, unter keinem Titel zu rechtfertigenden sexuellen Missbräuche von anvertrauten fünf- jährigen Kindern sind eines. Das andere ist das grosse Schweigen, das sich heute über diese furcht- baren Ereignisse ausbreitet. Bei der Beurteilung der Vergangenheit von linken Politikern werden beide Augen zugedrückt. Und diejenigen Tatsachen, deren Durchsickern an die Öffentlichkeit nicht verhindert werden kann, werden heroisch verniedlicht und mit den damaligen Zeitumständen erklärt. Die Geschich- te der Achtundsechziger wird noch geschrieben werden müssen.

Qeveria “Berisha”

Sali Berisha
Emri i tij dhe i djalit, është përmendur në përgjimet e Gërdecit, publikimi i të cilave u pasua nga vdekja e dyshimtë e dëshmitarit kryesor, denoncuesit Kosta Trebicka. Bilanci i shpërthimit ishte 26 jetë të humbura, 300 të plagosur dhe rreth 28 milionë euro dëme. Në 21 janar 2011 ishte në zyrë ndërkohë që forca të Gardës qëlluan në turmën e protestuesve anti-qeveritarë me pasojë 4 të vdekur dhe së paku 6 të plagosur. Begraundi i tij politik është traghik. Në vitin 1997 shteti i tij ra dhe nga kaosi Shqipëri pësoi dëme të pariparueshme, 4000 njerëz u vranë dhe ekonomia falimentoi. Në 14 shtator 1998 organizoi grusht shteti. Parlamenti i hoqi imunitetin në 18 shtator, por nuk u arrestua pas marrëveshjeve politike me kundërshtarët e tij.

Ilir Meta
Në nëntor 2010 ishte përgjegjësi kryesor për përmbytjen e pestë të Shkodrës dhe fshatrave përreth. Një video e marsit 2010 e implikon ndërkohë në një favorizim korrupsioni prej 700 mijë eurosh. Në 28 qershor “trafikoi” 80 mijë vota të majta për të prishur barazimin që doli nga kutitë e votimit dhe për të mbajtur në pushtet Sali Berishën.
Si kryeministër në vitet 1999-2001 është përgjegjës për privatizimet, ku asete dhe ndërmarrje të ekonomisë shtetërore u shitën fare lirë. Në dimrat 2000-2001 futi vendin në kolaps nga mosmenaxhimi i krizës energjetike,

Dritan Prifti
Në vitin 2002 ishte akuzuar nga ish-kryeministri Nano se ishte përfshirë në një aferë korruptive me importimin e energjisë elektrike, dosje që u mbyll nga prokuroria.
Si ministër i Energjetikës në dhjetor 2009 - janar 2010 ishte përgjegjësi kryesor për përmbytjen e parë në zonën e Nënshkodrës. Pas Zgjedhjeve të 2009-s, ishte i pari që deklaroi publikisht se mandati i tij i përkiste Sali Berishës, deklaratë e cila u pasua nga nënshkrimi i aleancës Berisha-Meta për një qeveri, që rezultoi më pas e goditur nga skandale të njëpasnjëshme korrupsioni.

Lulzim Basha
I akuzuar prej vitit 2007 për zhdukjen masive të fondeve të buxhetit të shtetit me ndërtimin e rrugës Durrës-Kukës. Rruga nga rreth 400 milionë dollarë mendohet të kushtojë tani katër herë më shumë, fonde që janë marrë nga buxheti i shtetit dhe në formë kredish bankare me interesa të lartë tregtarë. I shpëtoi gjykimit në saj të një loje me afatet dhe procedurat, ndërkohë që vjedhja ishte faktuar nga KLSH dhe Prokuroria.
Pas 21 janarit 2010 akuzohet se në postin e Ministrit të Brendëshëm ka qenë pjesë e urdhër-dhënësve të ushtarëve dhe oficerëve të Gardës së Republikës për të qëlluar mbi turmën e demonstruesve, duke vrarë katër dhe duke plagosur dhjetra të tjerë.Majlinda Bregu
E përfshirë në histori korruptive, duke shfrytëzuar postin shtetëror për të favorizuar familjarët për biznese me fondet publike dhe lidhje të të të afërmve të saj me një drejtues të lartë të Sacra Corona Unita (Itali), arrestuar në Vlorë pak muaj më parë. Sipas të dhënave Bregu kishte ndërhyrë për të përfituar për bashkëshortin dhe kunatin liccensa koncesionare për HEC-e vendore. Kunati i saj ishte bashkortak me Albino Prudentinon, mafiozin e ekstraduar tashmë në Itali, që akuzohet për trafik dhe kontrabandë. E përfshirë edhe në incidente ordinere, bashkë me të shoqin në ambjente private kundër deputetëve rivalë.Arben Imami
Në mars 1997 ishte drejtues i komitetit të Shpëtimit në Sarandë, duke kërkuar rrëzimin e qeverisjes së Sali Berishës. Në tetor 2009 ishte në krye të grupit negociator për nënshkrimin e paktit Shqipëri-Greqi, që i falte vendit fqinj një hapësirë të madhe detare.
Mbrëmjen e 21 janarit 2011 bashkë me Sokol Olldashin, mjekun Sami Koceku dhe kreun e Ekzekutivit, Sali Berisha dha dëshmi të rreme në media, kur deklaroi se protestuesit ishin vrarë me armë të lehta, nga afër dhe pas veshit, ndërsa ekspertiza nxorri se ishin vrarë me armë automatike nga ato që përdor garda.Genc Ruli
Ish-ministër i METE-s, aktualisht ministër i Bujqësisë, është përgjegjës për dhjetra leje koncesionare të dështuara në industri dhe energjetikë, apo në leje privatizimesh si ai i ish-Ekspozitës “Shqipëria Sot”. Sipas dokumenteve të prokurorisë në korrik 2009 favorizoi një kompani që operonte në Bulqizë, duke i falur borxhet, me anë të një vendimi që suprimonte Kuvendin dhe Ministrinë e Financave.

Fatmir Mediu
Ish-ministër i Mbrojtjes, përgjegjësi kryesor bashkë me kryeministrin Berisha për hartimin e legjislacionit mbi demontimin e municioneve, që i hapi rrugë ndërtimit dhe operimit të Gërdecit. Dha dorëheqjen katër ditë pas tragjedisë së 15 marsit 2008, por iu shmang drejtësisë, duke përdorur imunitetin parlamentar. Si ministër i Ambjentit, ka përgjegjësinë ekzekutive për përgatitjen e ligjit të ri për plehrat, duke përgatitur legjislacionin dhe kushtet për importimin e tyre.

NATO false flag Methode: Beteiligung des ägyptischen Geheimdienstes am Anschlag auf die Koptische Kirche

12.2.2011 by janmalte.

Italienische Tageszeitung “Corriere della Serra”:
Beteiligung des ägyptischen Geheimdienstes am Anschlag auf
Koptische Kirche in Alexandria in der Sylvesternacht 2010?

Berlin, 11. Februar 2011
Die Staatsanwaltschaft in Kairo soll nach Berichten der italienischen Zeitung Corriere della Serra eine Untersuchung gegen den ehemaligen Innenminister Ägyptens eingeleitet haben. Als Grund für die Untersuchung wird eine mögliche Verwicklung in den Terroranschlag in Alexandra angegeben.
Bei dem Angriff in der Sylvesternacht waren 21 Menschen ums Leben gekommen.
Der ägyptische Ex-Innenminister Habib El Adly, der nach den brutalen Polizeieinsätzen vom 25. Januar aus dem Amt entlassen worden war, wird verdächtigt eine entscheidende Rolle bei dem Anschlag gegen die koptische Kirche gespielt zu haben.
Ein ägyptischer Rechtsanwalt namens Mamdouh Hamdy sagte aus, dass zwei der wegen der Anschläge Angeklagten
während der Unruhen am 25. Januar aus dem Gefängnis ausgebrochen seien und in der britischen Botschaft Schutz gesucht hatten.
Sie berichteten, dass der Angriff auf die koptische Kirche von Fathi Abdel Wahed, einem dem ehemaligen Innenminister El Adly nahestehenden Beamten organisert worden sei. Der Anschlag sei Teil einer organisierten Strategie der Geheimdienste,
die Aufmerksamkeit von innenpolitischen und sozialen Probleme abzulenken.

Dies war bereits am 7. Febuar in einem Artikel des in Dubai ansässigen Fernsehsenders Al Arabiya berichtet worden.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Federal authorities searched overseas Tuesday for a U.S. citizen charged with plotting “violent jihad” as part of a North Carolina-based group of alleged aspiring international terrorists.

Authorities think the eighth suspect is in Pakistan, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. U.S. Attorney George E.B. Holding declined to discuss the suspect’s whereabouts but said the public should not be worried.

Nis në SHBA procesi kundër Hysen Sherifit nga Gjilani

Publikuar: Sot, më 10 shkurt 2011

Karolinë e Veriut, 10 shkurt – Në Karolinën e Veriut sot ka nisur procesi gjyqësor kundër disa të akuzuarve, shtetas amerikanë, me prejardhje nga Kosova, Pakistani, Bosnja dhe Hercegovina dhe disa shtete të tjera të lindjes.

Në mesin e tyre ndodhet edhe Hysen Sherifi nga Gjilani i Kosovës, i arrestuar në vitin 2009, i cili dyshohet  për vepra penale të nxitjes së urrejtjes fetare, terrorizmit, si dhe për planifikim të sulmeve kundër pronave të shtetit.

24 vjeçari Hysen Sherifi, së bashku me disa persona të tjerë akuzohen se i janë bashkuar  grupit terrorist të quajtur  “Al- Shabaab”, i cili planifikonte sulme terroriste në SHBA, por edhe në shtete tjera ku ka ente amerikane.

Hysen Sherifi vinte shpesh në Kosovë, në xhaminë në qendër të Gjilanit fliste shpesh për xhihadin, dëshirën për t’u sakrifikuar për Islamin dhe për të luftuar kundër amerikanëve në Irak e Afganistan.

Përveç kësaj, FBI-ja kishte siguruar shumë incizime ku pjesëtarë e këtij grupi bënin plane për të luftuar për nder të xhihadit të shenjtë.

Në lidhje me këtë rast dyshohet se është i përfshirë edhe Bajram Asllani nga Mitrovica, i cili kërkohet nga drejtësia amerikane që të ekstradohet, por autoritetet e EULEX-it nuk kanë lejuar që kjo të ndodhë.

Si njofton portali zhurnal, në seancën e parë para trupit gjykues ka folur Daniel Boyd, 40 vjeç, i cili cilësohet si lider i këtij grupi.

Sipas autoriteteve amerikane, ai ka pranuar fajësinë.

NORTH CAROLINA RALEIGH PLOT

 

 

Daniel Boyd, his two sons and four other North Carolina men were indicted, on Monday 07/27/2009, of military-style training at home and plotting “violent Jihad” through a series of terror attacks in Israel.

 

Officials said the group was led by the USA citizen Daniel Patrick Boyd, born in 1970, also known in his Islamic name ‘Saifullah’ (Sword of God), who lived in an unassuming lakeside home in a rural area south of Raleigh, where he and his family walked their dog and operated a drywall business.

 

Two decades ago, 1989, Daniel Boyd, trained in terrorist camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan and fought there in the very last stage of the war against the Russians, who left Afghanistan in 1989.  Daniel Boyd stayed in the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan up to 1991.

 

In 1991, Daniel Boyd and his brother were convicted of bank robbery in Pakistan — accused of carrying identification showing they belonged to the radical Afghan guerrilla group, Hezb-e-Islami, or Party of Islam. Each was sentenced to have a foot and a hand cut off for the robbery, but the decision was later overturned. He returned to USA in 1992.

 

The indictment claims some of the defendants traveled to Israel in 2007 with the intent of waging “violent Jihad” and returned home without success.

 

Daniel Boyd stopped attending worship services at a moderate mosque in the Raleigh area and instead began meeting for Friday prayers in his home, according to the prosecution. “These people had broken away because their local mosque did not follow their vision of being a good Muslim,” Attorney George E.B. Holding said.

 

Their wives told The Associated Press in an interview at the time that the couples had USA roots but the United States was a country of “kafirs” — Arabic for heathens.

 

Two of the suspects are Daniel Boyd’s sons: Zakariya Boyd, 20 and Dylan Boyd, 22. The others are Anes Subasic, 33; Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, 22; and Ziyad Yaghi, 21, who went to Jordan, already in 10/2006 to engage in Jihad. 

 

Hysen Sherifi, 24, a native of Kosovo and a USA legal permanent was also charged in the case. He was the only person arrested who was not a USA citizen.

According to the investigation, Hysen Sherifi was in Kosovo in 2008 and, allegedly, formed a relationship with Bajram Asllani, a Kosovo man from Albanian descent, who had provided him with “videos related to violent jihad… so they could be used to recruit others for violent jihad.” Bajram Asllani himself wa arrested, eventually, in Prishtina, Kosovo, on Thursday 06/17/2010.  

Mohammad Hassan’s father declined to comment Monday night while others did not have listed numbers or did not return calls.

 

It’s unclear how authorities learned of the activities, although court documents indicate that prosecutors will introduce evidence gathered under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

 

Daniel Boyd was also accused of trying to raise money last year to fund others’ travel overseas to fight. The defendant Hysen Sherifi, went to Kosovo to engage in violent Jihad, according to the indictment, but it’s unclear if he did any actual fighting.

 

* A 20-year-old USA citizen who traveled to Pakistan in 2008 “to engage in violent jihad” has been named, on Monday 08/03/2009, as the eighth suspect in a North Carolina terrorism case, according to court documents. Jude K. Mohammad was charged, in absentia, with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and conspiracy to murder, kidnap, maim and injure persons in a foreign country.

 

On Wednesday 02/09/2011 Daniel Boyd pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to provide support to terrorists and conspiring to murder, kidnap and injure people. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss several other counts against him were dismissed. The other defendants, including his sons, are due to be tried in 09/2011. They have denied the allegations.

Die Kosovo Schleuser Mafia: zu dumm für Alles ““This is not organised — this is disorganised crime,””

11.2.2011 by CrniLabudovi.

 Wenn sogar ein Staatsanwalt feststellt, das diese Leute einfach zu dumm  für Alles ist ““This is not organised — this is disorganised crime,”, sieht man wieder was diese Leute anrichten. Wegen diesen vermurksten Gestalten, hat es aber ziemlich viel Tode vor 2 Jahren gegeben, bei einer missglückten Fluss Überquerung.

Der Kosovo ist ein rein kriminelles Konstruct, krimineller US Politiker wie Frank Wisner, Jo Biden, John Negroponte und im Schlepptau die dummen Nachplabberer und Geschäftemacher der Deutschen Politik.

Kosovo Survivors Relive Tisa Tragedy

The trial of eight men connected to the Tisa river tragedy, in which 15 Kosovo Albanians died trying to cross between Serbia and Hungary, began last week with the testimony of one of the survivors.

Nate Tabak

Pristina

Blerim Rama last saw his wife alive in the Tisa River. Rama and Elvira Jaha were fighting for their lives in unforgiving waters between Serbia and Hungary.

Amid wind and rain in the dead of night, Rama clutched their daughter, Erida, as Jaha held their son, Rendi. Then the 29-year-old father made a fateful decision.

“I told my wife to go on — I will take the kids,” Rama testified last week in a Pristina courtroom.Rama took a child in each hand and kicked to the safety of the shore.

They reached the riverbank on the Serbian side, near Subotica, but their ordeal was far from over.

There also was no sign of Elvira or the boat that capsized as it ferried the family and other Kosovo Albanians towards Hungary and the European Union.

Eighteen were aboard. After failing to light a fire to warm his cold, wet children, Rama decided to find help.

He sheltered his kids in a field, covered them with grass and left. A light drew Rama to a nearby home. He approached, asking for help.

A man there responded by setting his dogs loose. Rama managed to escape and eventually located a phone to call police.

It had been two hours since the accident, Rama said. He and police found the children safe in the field. But it was as if Elvira and the other passengers had just vanished.

The bodies of most, including Elvira, would be found in the days and weeks that followed. Some have never been recovered, presumed lost to the Tisa. Only Rama and his children survived.

From tragedy to trial

Almost a year and a half later, Rama re-lived the horror of that autumn night when he testified in Pristina District Court on Feb. 2.

Prosecutors allege that those tragic events in October 2009 exposed an international organised-crime ring that offered migrants illegal passage from the poverty and isolation of Kosovo to the economic opportunity of the European Union for about 3,000 euros per person or up to 8,000 euros for an entire family.

Eight men now are on trial in a case being overseen by judge from the European Union’s law and justice mission to Kosovo, EULEX.

Avni Hajdari, Shpejtim Ademaj, Blerim Ademaj, Fatmir Pajaziti, Xhemajl Halilaj, Shaip Selmani, Ismail Krapi and Rabit Ajvazi each pleaded not guilty to organised crime and human-trafficking charges.

In court, they’re dispersed among three rows of benches. They quietly chatted and joked as armed guards guarded the defendants during the proceedings, perhaps more for their protection than the publics.

A question of organisation

Much of the evidence has yet to be presented. But the central question of the trial is whether these Kosovar Albanians were just a rag-tag group with little interconnection in a disorganised immigration scheme, or if they were taking part in a sophisticated criminal enterprise that was in the business of trafficking people for large sums of money.

Special prosecutor Besim Kelmendi described an operation that was carefully linked from the ground up, with wire transfers of thousands of euros and Swiss francs involving Austria, Germany, France, Switzerland and Hungary.

Intercepted phone calls also back up the case, the prosecutor said.Outside the courtroom, Haxhi Millaku, the attorney representing Shpejtim Ademaj, characterised the case against these eight defendants as being tiles in a mosaic.

“This is not organised — this is disorganised crime,” Millaku said, adding that the “big fish” has yet to be caught.

Millaku was referring to Anton Gecaj, a suspect in the case who remains at large.

Shpejtim Ademaj and his brother, Blerim Ademaj, are accused of working in concert in Kosovo and Switzerland, respectively, to facilitate Ilir Agushi’s departure from Zhegra.

Agushi wanted to join his brother, Shkëlzen, who lives in Geneva.Agushi died in the Tisa. Millaku says the brothers are cooperating with prosecutors.

‘Ismajli’

The testimony of Blerim Rama supports the idea of coordinated effort. Rama had decided sometime in 2009 that he wanted to get his family out of Kosovo for economic reasons and head to Germany.

Via bar chatter, Rama heard that there was man known as “Ismajli” who was smuggling people from Kosovo to other parts of Europe.

They met a few times, eventually agreeing to 6,300 euro for Rama, his wife and two children. 600 euro was paid in advance, with the remaining 5,700 euro due upon their safe arrival in Austria.

Rama also insisted in his testimony that their deal excluded the crossing of any bodies of water.The family met “Ismajli” and another man in front of the Maxi supermarket in Pristina’s Emshir neighborhood about 7 am on October 14, 2009.

They got into a Volkswagen Passat and headed for Gjilan. The family had to change cars and drivers five times between Prishtina and their ill-fated boat crossing near Subotica, Serbia. At one point the smugglers put Rama and his family in different vehicles.

In court, Rama identified one of the defendants, Avni Hajdari, as “Ismajli.”Testimony in the Tisa River case is scheduled into late February.

Micunovic and Djukanovic at war over ‘Zavala’ construction affair

‘Blic’ team | 04. 02. 2011. - 00:02h | Komentara: 0 

BELGRADE - As ‘Blic’ learns Brano Micunovic, the boss of Montenegrin criminal scene with huge influence on the power is at war with until yesterday Prime Minister and a close friend Milo Djukanovic.

Budva panorama: Brawl over Zavala bay

The conflict between them erupted over the ‘Zavala’ affair in which Rajko Kuljaca (Mayor of the Town of Budva), Dragan Marovic (City Hall Vice President) and another nine town officials were arrested.

 

The affair which broke out at the end of December last year caused immediate conflict between Milo Djukanovic and Svetozar Marovic, until recently Montenegrin Deputy Prime Minister whose brother Dragan Marovic was among the arrested for abuse of office (illegal construction of residential apartments at Zavala near Budva).

Milo Djukanovic

Their conflict caused splitting within the ruling DPS party and separation of party’s board in Budva which is openly supporting arrested city officials.

 

‘Bruno Micunovic supported Budva’s DPS board. He has a special reason to be active in the ‘Zavala’ affair. That reason is his investment in Zavala’, our well informed source says. The amount of his investment as well as his relation with the investor, Russian businessman Sergey Polonsky are not known.

 

Italian indictment Micunovic and Djukanovic were brought in official connection in one case only – the case of cigarette smuggling led by a prosecutor of Italian Directorate for fight against mafia. For years Djukanovic has been referring to immunity. Micunovic is suspected to have ‘guaranteed protection to Italian mafia members hiding in Montenegro in exchange for profit from illegal cigarette smuggling from Montenegro to Italy’.

‘It is clear, however, that because of ‘Zavala’ Micunovic has turned his back to Djukanovic and is not hiding it. It is sure that this affair is going to have far more serious consequences than those expected initially’, our source adds.

Brano Micunovic

 

Unofficially Bruno Micunovic used to be brought in connection with numerous criminal offences in Montenegro, but also in Serbia and Croatia. Officially only one criminal court proceedings was led against him in Montenegro for murder of Radovan Kovacevic in September of 2001 in front of the Clinical Center in Podgorica. The charges were lifted due to lack of evidence. 

His name was also brought in connection with business deals worth millions of EUR and with criminals such as Djordje Bozovic, Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan, Stanko Subotic and Darko Saric.

Anton Stanaj

Stanaj is an ethnic Albanian with Montenegrin citizenship.

Stanaj was arrested in 2007 a police operation codenamed Memphis, and convicted as the leader and chief financer of an international group that dealt with cigarette smuggling, Danas confirmed with sources close to Serbian police (MUP).

That part of the clan subsequently taken over by Šari, usually referred to as the “Montenegrin tycoon lobby”, then took part in numerous privatizations in Serbia.

Usually through a middle-man, either a company or person, they were buying companies that made large profits, making it harder for the institutions to follow where all the money was going.

The daily also states that there are rumors that some former and current Vojvodina senior officials were involved in the crime group, as well as a bank with headquarters in the province.

More than EUR 1bn of drug and cigarette money was laundered in these deals, the newspaper writes.

The most suitable companies for the jobs of Stanaj’s group, which Šari apparently took over, were those dealing with primary agriculture and auto-transport, which also served to “ship the merchandise”.

Many of the companies that were used were located close to the administrative boundary with Kosovo, where the main smuggling channels are, or in Vojvodina, because of the large financial potential for putting the money into other businesses, and for easier access to the European Union’s market, the daily adds.

Šari is currently at large, wanted in Serbia in connection to the cocaine smuggling case, when his gang last year tried to traffic over two tons of cocaine from South America to Europe.
