On October 16, the Stratfor Website reported that
Islamist terrorists held a secret congress in NATO-controlled Bosnia.[1]
To summarize, Stratfor reported that:
1) "Russian and Yugoslav intelligence sources claim that more than 150
Islamic radicals from more than 50 countries held a secret congress in
Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Oct. 8.." Stratfor adds that Strana.ru,
"a pro-government Russian media source," also reported that the meeting
had taken place "citing 'well-informed diplomatic sources.'"
2) The terrorists supposedly put aside all differences in order to
declare a "jihad on the 'European race' - meaning both Americans and
Europeans - because it has become 'the willing slaves of Jews and
Israel.'"
3) Stratfor comments that, "The fact that the meeting purportedly was
held in Bosnia suggests the country may become a center for international
Islamic militants to coordinate operations in Europe. This seems
especially possible in light of electoral victories by Bosnian Muslim
nationalists earlier this month. Muslim Bosnia, unlike Republika Srpska,
still is considered friendly to the West and might become an easy locale
for Islamist operations as the United States focuses on hunting them in
other regions."
Stratfor develops this theme: "In Bosnia and the Balkans in general,
Orthodox Christian Serbs remain pariahs to Washington and Western Europe,
even after overthrowing former Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic
and installing a pro-Western regime. Thus, Serbs rather than Muslims
command the main focus of U.S. and European intelligence agencies."
Stratfor gives no sources that we can check for this report. However, we
do know that:
1) the NATO-backed side in
the Bosnian war was fighting to set up an Islamic fundamentalist state;
that
2) other Islamic
fundamentalist governments were heavily involved in helping their Bosnian
comrades and
3) that the Pentagon
coordinated the work of these outside fundamentalists. (These points are
discussed further, below.)
So the idea that terrorists would find Bosnia a likely setting for a
meeting is perfectly plausible.
Moreover, there are other reports that the meeting took place; it is
mentioned, for example, in an Oct. 11 dispatch from Itar-Tass. Assuming
the alleged meeting did take place, Strafor has neglected some crucial
points.
First, Stratfor suggests that the Islamists held their meeting without
the knowledge of Western intelligence agencies. But in fact Bosnia is the
last place Islamist groups would be able to get together *on the
sly.*
Indeed, we can hardly call Bosnia a country. It is merely an *area*
controlled by NATO in general and the US in particular. At
the top there is a Lord Protector under the disguised title,
'Representative of the International Community,' who wields virtually all
power. He appoints 'ministers' and makes laws; he even chose the design of
the 'national' flag. Nothing can happen without his approval. So when
Stratfor says that "the country may become a center for international
Islamic militants to coordinate operations in Europe", we can hardly
believe such a thing would be possible without the consent of the powers
who control that area.
So, if the meeting took place, it did so with Great Power complicity.
Which brings me to the second point: Islamic fundamentalist terrorism is
not simply a problem of some isolated bands of extremists, dangerous only
if they are unknown to western security forces.
On the one hand, Islamic fundamentalism is a real ideology (or several
closely related ideologies) with totalitarian goals. It has many real
adherents and it is trying to remake the world. But on the other hand, it
has grown with a good deal of sponsorship from Islamic states, North
America and Europe.
If you believe that all the fears about Islam are simply propaganda to
justify the war on terrorism, consider these words of from the book by the
much-celebrated Bosnian leader, Alija Izetbegovic, portrayed in the
Western media as a Muslim moderate:[2]
"The exhaustive definition of
the Islamic Order is: the unity of religion and law, education and force,
ideals and interests, spiritual society and State, and all of it with the
harmonization of spontaneity and obligation. The Muslim does not exist at
all as an independent individual. If he wants to live and remain Muslim,
he must create an environment, a society, and an order. He must change the
world, or he will be the victim of change. History has not seen an Islamic
movement that was not at the same time a political movement, because Islam
is a religion, but at the same time a philosophy, an ethics, an order, a
style, and an environment; that is, a total way of life."
Izetbegovic favors Iranian-style fundamentalism, but the above applies
to the Wahabbi school exported from Saudi Arabia and the Arab Emirates
and other Islamists as well. I am not speaking of personal religious
beliefs. Islam means 'submission' and Islamic fundamentalism regulates all
aspects of life. Islamic law, Shari at, does not distinguish
between crime and sin. Or to put it differently, anything which the
religious authorities interpret to be a sin becomes a crime.
There is much evidence that Western states have played a double game,
sponsoring Islamic fundamentalism to crush secular forces in order to
destabilize target nations while at the same time publicly condemning
Islamic terror.
Even Stratfor cannot hide the fact that Islamic terrorists have a safe
heaven in Bosnia. Thus in the above-quoted report, Stratfor says, "Since
Sept. 11, 2001, regional governments have rounded up several cells of
foreign Islamic militants. But Bosnia has not been among those who
succeeded in breaking those cells".
"Not succeeded"? Or deliberately not succeeded?
And Stratfor says Bosnia is a likely center for "international Islamic
militants to coordinate operations in Europe" because "In Bosnia and the
Balkans in general, Orthodox Christian Serbs remain pariahs to Washington
and Western Europe.Serbs rather than Muslims command the main focus of
U.S. and European intelligence agencies."
Perhaps to Stratfor this is an explanation, but to me it just raises more
questions.
Why do "Orthodox Christian Serbs remain pariahs to Washington
and Western Europe"?
Since there are no terrorists among the Serbian population, whereas there
are many terrorists among Bosnian Muslims, why would "Serbs rather
than Muslims command the main focus of U.S. and European intelligence
agencies"? Unless, of course, these agencies wish to allow Islamist
terrorists to function unhindered in Bosnia, which NATO directly controls!
That Western powers are supporting Islamist terrorism was suggested
in an interview, given at the end of October, by the former Czech Foreign
Minister, Jiri Dientsbier. (Dientsbier had also been a special UN Human
Rights official in Bosnia.) In the interview with the Prague newspaper,
Pravo, Dientsbier said that
"terrorism, including the
latest terrorist act in Moscow, did not break out last September when the
United States was under attack, it started much earlier in Bosnia, Albania
and Kosovo."
Dientsbier said further that, "not only the media but also the
politicians, who divided the terrorists into 'good ones' and 'bad ones,'
were doing service to terrorism. This is the case with the Chechens and
the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) as well."
"During the NATO-led bombardment on Yugoslavia, the Kosovo Liberation Army
was used as a ground force. The KLA engagement during the NATO-led air
strikes on Yugoslavia enabled this organization to rule in Kosovo and
mastermind and carry out attacks in Macedonia, southern Serbia and
Montenegro," Dientsbier said. Further he said the Albanian extremists had
also killed thousands of Albanians, adding that ongoing efforts to arrest
those responsible had produced no results.[3]
Other sources also reveal the close co-operation between the
US-military and Muslim terrorist groups. The Dutch Institute for War
Documentation (NIOD) wrote in its official report last year on Srebrenica
that the Pentagon in fact has armed Muslim terrorists. This is what
Richard J. Aldrich wrote in The Guardian of April 22, 2002, in an
article with the title, "US Sponsored Foreign Islamists In Bosnia":[4]
"The official Dutch inquiry
into the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, released last week, contains one of the
most sensational reports on western intelligence ever published. Officials
have been staggered by its findings and the Dutch government has resigned.
One of its many volumes is devoted to clandestine activities during the
Bosnian war of the early 1990s. For five years, Professor Cees Wiebes of
Amsterdam University has had unrestricted access to Dutch intelligence
files and has stalked the corridors of secret service headquarters in
western capitals, as well as in Bosnia, asking questions.
His findings are set out in
"Intelligence and the war in Bosnia, 1992-1995." It includes remarkable
material on covert operations, signals interception, human agents and
double-crossing by dozens of agencies in one of dirtiest wars of the new
world disorder. Now we have the full story of the secret alliance
between the Pentagon and radical Islamist groups from the Middle East
designed to assist the Bosnian Muslims - some of the same groups that the
Pentagon is now fighting in "the war against terrorism."
By 1993 these groups, many supported by Iran and Saudi Arabia, were
anxious to help Bosnian Muslims fighting in the former Yugoslavia and
called in their debts with the Americans. Bill Clinton and the Pentagon
were keen to be seen as creditworthy and repaid in the form of an
Iran-Contra style operation - in flagrant violation of the UN Security
Council arms embargo against all combatants in the former Yugoslavia.
The result was a vast secret conduit of weapons smuggling through
Croatia. This was arranged by the clandestine agencies of the US,
Turkey and Iran, together with a range of radical Islamist groups,
including Afghan mojahedin and the pro-Iranian Hezbollah. Wiebes reveals
that the British intelligence services obtained documents early on in the
Bosnian war proving that Iran was making direct deliveries.
Arms purchased by Iran and Turkey with the financial backing of Saudi
Arabia made their way by night from the Middle East. Initially aircraft
from Iran Air were used, but as the volume increased they were joined by a
mysterious fleet of black C-130 Hercules aircraft. The report stresses
that the US was "very closely involved" in the airlift. Mojahedin fighters
were also flown in, but they were reserved as shock troops for especially
hazardous operations.
The volume of weapons flown into Croatia was enormous, partly
because of a steep Croatian "transit tax". Croatian forces creamed off
between 20% and 50% of the arms. The report stresses that this entire
trade was clearly illicit. The Croats themselves also obtained massive
quantities of illegal weapons from Germany, Belgium and Argentina - again
in contravention of the UN arms embargo. The German secret services were
fully aware of the trade.
Rather than the CIA, the Pentagon's own secret service was the hidden
force behind these operations. The UN protection force, UNPROFOR, was
dependent on its troop-contributing nations for intelligence, and above
all on the sophisticated monitoring capabilities of the US to police the
arms embargo. This gave the Pentagon the ability to manipulate the
embargo at will: ensuring that American Awacs aircraft covered crucial
areas and were able to turn a blind eye to the frequent nighttime comings
and goings at Tuzla.
Weapons flown in during the spring of 1995 were to turn up only a
fortnight later in the besieged and demilitarized enclave at Srebrenica.
When these shipments were noticed, Americans pressured UNPROFOR to
rewrite reports, and when Norwegian officials protested about the
flights, they were reportedly threatened into silence.
Iranian and Afghan veterans' training camps had also been identified in
Bosnia. Later, in the Dayton Accords of November 1995, the stipulation
appeared that all foreign forces be withdrawn. This was a deliberate
attempt to cleanse Bosnia of Iranian-run training camps. The CIA's main
opponents in Bosnia were now the mojahedin fighters and their Iranian
trainers - whom the Pentagon had been helping to supply months earlier.
Meanwhile, the secret services of Ukraine, Greece and Israel were busy
arming the Bosnian Serbs. Mossad was especially active and concluded a
deal with the Bosnian Serbs at Pale involving a substantial supply of
artillery shells and mortar bombs. In return they secured safe passage for
the Jewish population out of the besieged town of Sarajevo."
The close relations between the US and the Muslim terrorist groups is
not limited to the Balkans. In the eighties the US and Saudi Arabia
sponsored them in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union. Now the same
Mujahideen who fought the Russians are back in power under direct
US/European control; in other words, Afghanistan is basically in the
position of Bosnia.
And, as happened in Bosnia in October, a month earlier Muslim groups from
Central Asia held a meeting in US/NATO-controlled Afghanistan. According
to a report from Kalyk Imankulov, the Kyrgyzstan Security Chief [5]
Radical Islamites made an
important step for joining their efforts in the struggle for establishing
the state, which would be based on Shari at. The state is going to be
established on the Fergana Valley. This was said by the chairman of the
National Security of Kyrgyzstan, Kalyk Imankulov.
Mr. Imankulov advised that
Muslim fundamentalists of the Fergana Valley decided to create a joint
organization - the Islamic Movement of the Central Asia. This movement
incorporates separatists from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Chechnya
and even from China. The headquarters of the new association is reportedly
in the Badahshan mountainous area of Afghanistan.
So, centered in Bosnia, Muslims apparently organize under NATO's nose
to destabilize Europe and in Afghanistan, too, they hold a unification
congress to speed up terrorist actions against Russia.
Behind the farce that the US is fighting terrorism is the reality that
they use fascist and reactionary groups as instruments to reshape the
political map of the world.
