INTELLIGENCE SERVICES AWARE OF AL-QA'IDAH PRESENCE IN KOSOVO - SERB
OFFICIAL

Tanjug - January 8, 2004

Nis - Rada Trajkovic, member of the "Povratak" (Return) coalition and a
deputy in the Kosovo Assembly, has stated today that UNMIK (UN Interim
Administration Mission in Kosovo) chief Harri Holkeri is implementing
the policies of informal power centres in Kosmet (Kosovo-Metohija) -
the Crisis Group, the Anglo-American lobby and the American-Albanian
league.
"We have information, precisely from these informal groups, which
unfortunately rule in Kosmet, that, this June, our people and our
state should expect a further destabilization of our government, and
we presently do not know what it will look like," Trajkovic told the
Nis daily Narodne Novine.
This will certainly boost Albanians' appetites, she said, adding that
"unfortunately, certain ambassadors are participating in the creation
of Serbian policy as if they were on the election list".
"There are about 1,500 Al-Qa'idah fighters in Kosovo-Metohija, and the
intelligence services know this for sure. This information comes from
international sources," Trajkovic said.
According to her, "recruiting Albanians for these units is one of the
priorities of that movement".
Trajkovic said that Holkeri had transferred to Kosovo's provisional
institutions almost all the powers and that the next move, if the
state of Serbia failed to do something, could be giving consent to the
setting up of the ministries of foreign affairs and the police.
Due to the victory of the right-wing bloc in Serbia, there is some
nervousness in the international community, she said.
In contrast to this, no-one is talking about the fact that the
Albanians who are responsible for crimes and who should be in The
Hague (International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia -
ICTY), are in power in Pristina, Trajkovic said.

Chronicles Magazine

<< For years we have been warning that flawed pro-Muslim Western
policies would turn the Balkans from a "protectorate of the New World
Order into an Islamic threat to Western interests" (Chronicles,
December 2001).
This has already happened, according to a spate of media reports and
statements by Western governments and top diplomats over the past few
weeks... >>

1997 REPORT SHOWS BOSNIAN ISLAMISTS READY TO RE-START WAR TO ELIMINATE
BOSNIAN SERBS: IS THE PLAN NOW BEING IMPLEMENTED?

<< Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy, in its
November-December 1997 edition, carried an in-depth report by Yossef
Bodansky which highlighted Bosnian Islamist plans to re-start the
Bosnian civil war to eliminate the Bosnian Serb autonomous republic,
Republica Srpska, which was created as a result of the 1995 Dayton
Accords. There are now indications that the Bosnian Islamist leadership
is beginning steps to initiate this strategy, starting with resumed
terrorism which transcends the borders of Bosnia-Herzegovina and relies
on utilizing the infrastructure established with the help of
international Islamists, including the al-Qaida grouping of Osama bin
Laden as well as by the Iranian Government.

Despite this, Paddy Ashdown, the High Representative for
Bosnia-Herzegovina, appointed by the European Union to oversee
implementation of the Dayton Accords, has steadfastly supported the
Bosnian Islamists and stated that no terrorism was reliant on Bosnian
basing, and that terrorism would never emerge from Bosnia... >>
