| 300 US spies keeping tabs on Bosnian mujahideen |
| 2004-07-27 |
| Hundreds of U.S. intelligence agents have been moved into Bosnia and Herzegovina to track suspected Islamic militants, the Telegraph said Monday. European intelligence sources say almost a decade after the end of the war in the former Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina has become a "one-stop shop" for Islamic militants heading from terrorist battlegrounds in Chechnya and Afghanistan to Iraq. About 300 U.S. military and CIA agents will remain in the Balkan nation after the United States and NATO pull their troops out in a planned handover to European Union peacekeepers. The U.S. agents will monitor Muslim foreign fighters who settled peacefully in Bosnia after the end of the 1992-95 war. They are believed to be providing documents and weapons to active mujahedin returning to the country after tours abroad, the Telegraph said. "There is a flow of people heading in from Chechnya and Afghanistan on to Europe and back, then to Iraq," one official told the newspaper. "They are spreading the story that Bosnia is a one-stop shop close to Europe for terrorism needs: guns, money, documents." |

| #1 "When I talked about the heart and soul, I’m talking about the artistic expression..." The story of how the previous administration allowed UBL to seed Bosnia with his minions is interesting reading. The "No Instruction" Policy is the quintessential Clinton foreign policy. When he hangs it up, keep him the hell away from the NEA. We don't need to be funding any more art that is full of heart and soul but bereft of intelligence, morality and talent. The policy brings confusion "is" confusion to the world stage. |
