Who is Ramush Haradinaj?

Serbian original at Apis Group, Belgrade

Ramush Haradinaj, born on July 3, 1968 in the village of Glodjane,
municipality of Decani, is not only a criminal but a terrorist and
perpetrator of war crimes!


Terrorism and crimes of Ramush Haradinaj

Namely, in 1996, under the watchful eye of Albanian officers, Haradinaj
completed terrorist training and upon completion took part in the
opening of logistical bases for terrorists in the cities of Kuks and
Tropoi in Albania. From these bases he and a group of trustworthy
associates continuously injected weapons into Kosovo and Metohija.

In mid-1997 he illegally entered the country [the Federal Republic of
[Yugoslavia] and together with his brothers, Daut and Skeljzen,
organized terrorist attacks on police departments in the villages of
Rznic, municipality of Decani, and Ponosevac, municipality of
Djakovica, as well as against refugee camps in Junik and Babalac. In
the beginning of 1998 he formed a terrorist group in Glodjane which
according to his orders conducted ambushes and harrassment of Serbs and
Albanians loyal to the Republic of Serbia. In March 1998 this group
carried out an attack on a police patrol in the village of Glodjane and
on that occasion killed policeman Miodrag Otovic.

In April of the same year Haradinaj established the Metohija
headquarters of the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army and a special unit
called the Black Eagles, promoting Idriz Balaj aka Toger as its
commander. Under the leadership of Ramush Haradinaj, the Black Eagles
kidnapped and brutally murdered approximately forty Serbian civilians,
including Slobodan Radojevic, Milos and Milica Radunovic, Darinka
Kovac, Novica Vujsic, Zdravko Radunovic. Some of the bodies were
recovered from Lake Radonjic (Radonjicko Jezero) and from water wells
in the villages of the muncipality of Decani.


Crimes against compatriots

Terrorists under the command of Ramush Haradinaj did not kill only
Serbs but also Albanians. Thus the aforementioned commander of the
Black Eagles Idriz Balaj Toger killed Agim Ibrahimi, a taxi driver from
Djakovica, at the end of 1998. At the end of 1999 the Black Eagles of
Ramush Haradinaj abducted Vesel Mursij and four other ethnic Albanians
who were thereafter kept imprisoned in the Dukadjini building in Pec.
Vesel Murisi managed to escape and the other four men were killed.
Their bodies were thrown into the Beli Drim River. Dzafer Djuka, a
political official from Pec, was among the victims.

That the terrorists under Ramush Haradinaj's command killed and abused
Albanian civilians, too, was proven in a trial conducted against Ramush
Haradinaj's brother, Daut, who has already been sentenced by the UNMIK
judiciary for crimes committed against Albanians in June 1999 and is
currently serving a prison term. Since we know that Daut was the deputy
of his brother Ramush in the Metohija headquarters of the terrorist
KLA, if we follow the principle of command responsibility the line
leads directly to Ramush Haradinaj. Unfortunately, the principle of
command responsibility has not been respected in this instance, i.e.
the international community has once again implemented its double
standards, leaving Ramush Haradinaj untouched by justice.

Dnevnik they have close cooperation.]


Organizer of ethnic cleansing

Ramush Haradinaj is the organizer of ethnic cleansing of Serbs and
other non-Albanians from the areas of Pec, Decani and Djakovica. The
main perpetrators of these activities were members of the Black Eagles
under the commander of Toger. For example, in order to intimidate the
Serbs and destroy signs of Serb life and history on the territory of
Metohija, the Black Eagles torched the Serbian Orthodox church in the
village of Donji Ratis.


Ramush Haradinaj organized the murder of Zahir Zemaj

Haradinaj described his terrorist activities in an autobiographical
book in which he of course hides the killing of Serbian civilians and
his compatriots. He has gone so far as to organize, in June 2003, the
murder of Tahir Zemaj who testified regarding his crimes before
investigators of the Hague tribunal. The murder of Tahir Zemaj on
January 4, 2004 on Ramush Haradinaj's orders was carried out by the
Elsani brothers - Agim, Avni, Cerim, Adem and Ahmet - together with
Sali Lajic and Florim Ejupi aka Mazul and Luli.

However, evidence against Haradinaj for his crimes did not disappear
with the murder of Zemaj. It is in the possession of the Republic of
Serbia, which is currently conducting a case against Haradinaj before
the district court in Pristina, presently located in Nis, for terrorist
activities, murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Evidence has also
been provided to the Hague tribunal which has so far failed to issue an
indictment against this proven criminal.


Organization and financing of terrorist activities in south central
Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia

Haradinaj continued to conduct terrorist activities even after the
arrival of itnernational forces in Kosovo and Metohija and is deeply
involved in Albanian terrorist activities in south central Serbia.
Thus, for example, Malic Ndrecaj was sent on his orders to the district
of Vitina to organize the terrorist Albanian National Army. Today
Haradinaj is also especially active in acquisition of weapons and
secret training of Albanian terrorists from south central Serbia which
is being conducted in the villages of Kosovo and Metohija near the
administrative line.

Haradinaj is also involved in the operations of Albanian terrorists in
the Republic of Macedonia and providing financial support to Nazim
Haradinaj, who provided weapons for the Albanian terrorists in
Macedonia. Following the orders of Ramush Haradinaj, until the moment
of his arrest by Kfor in July 2002, his brother Daut was directly
involved in organizing the terrorist Albanian Liberation Army and
participated in clashes with security forces of the Republic of
Macedonia.

Ramush Haradinaj acquires the financial means for terrorism through
criminalactivities.


Murder and intimidation of political opponents

Ramush Haradinaj does not flinch from murdering his political
opponents. Thus the Eslani brothers together with the notorious Toger
followed his order on January 17, 2002 and liquidated DSK deputy Ismajl
Haradnaj and attempted the murder of Ramiz and Sadik Murici from Pec,
both DSK supporters. As well, the Elsani borthers in 2002 following
Haradinaj's order liquidated his former bodyguard Avni Elezaj, who was
supposed to testify regarding Haradinaj's conflict with the Musaj
family and Tahir Zemaj.

Under the patronage (command) of the Haradinaj brothers, prison camps
(detention centers) were formed which functioned from 1997-2003 in the
following locations: Likovac, Orlate, Malisevska Banja, Jablanica,
Smonica, Ozrim, Glamocer, Rakoc, and Kodralija. As an epilogue to this,
left behind them were mass graves in the following locations: Brekovac,
Ljubizda, Pec NN cemetery, Piskote, Radonjicko Jezero, Goden, Rakoc,
etc.

It is estimated that the number of their victims (of all nationalities)
may exceed three hundred people, largely civilizans.

It is estimated that Ramush Haradinaj is directly responsible for the
abuction of over four hundred people (1998-2002) of all nationalities.

It is estimated that three groups for stalking and liquidation under
his direct command are comprised of about 30 people specially trained
for this type of task. The punishment for disloyalty or disobedience of
members of the Kosovo Police Service or Kosovo Protection Corps is
death and his groups are responsible for multiple murders of Albanian
members of the KPS and translators.

Threats and intimidation of members of UNMIK (political and police
organizations) as well as their "lobbying" (bribery) also fall under
the domain of the work of Haradinaj's groups. All Albanian leaders in
the Kosovo Police Service must obey Haradinaj. He is the logistical
mastermind behind all Albanian National Army operations and an active
participant in its organization and planning. His men have been
appointed municipal mayors and, paradoxically, are also members of
negotiating groups for displaced persons from Kosovo and Metohija
(giving them access to Serbian and UNMIK plans).

In districts under his direct control, he has the most contact with
members of Italian Kfor and also controls the entire UNMIK judicial
system in Pec. He is behind attacks on Serb returnee villages near
Klina (Bicha). His groups is also responsible for the hushed up murder
of three members of UNMIK police in the village of Citak in 2003.
Haradinaj also has the most developed and organized operative
intelligence netweork in Kosovo, which also covers zones of interest in
central Serbia and throughout the territory of Montenegro. His
intelligence network also supports the increasingly strong illegal
network of associates and sympathizers of the Party of Democratic
Action (based in Pec with local branches in Rozaj, Plav and in the
Sandzak.


Al Q'aida connection

As far as Ramush Haradinaj himself is concerned, it is well to keep in
mind a fact presented before the U.S. Congress on December 13, 2000 by
Ralph Machek, the deputy director of the Criminal Intelligence
Administration of Interpol - that Muhamed al Zavahiri, the brother of
Dr. Ajman Zavahiri, the leader of the terrorist organization Egyptian
Jihad and ideologue of al-Q'aida, commanded an elite unit of the
terrorist KLA during the time of the conflict in Kosovo and Metohija.
What Machek failed to mention was that this unit was a part of the
military policy of the terrorist KLA for the region of Metohija under
the command of Daut Haradinaj, while the commander of all units of the
terrorist KLA for the region of Metohija was Ramush Haradinaj.

Even after the arrival of international forces in Kosovo and Metohija
the Haradinaj brothers continued to nurture their connections with
Islamic terrorists. In October 2001 on orders of Ramush Haradinaj his
brother Daut visited Sofia where he met with the aforementioned Muhamed
al Zavahiriji and discussed further tactics and activities by Islamic
terrorists in Kosovo and Metohija and the Republic of Macedonia.

It is not known whether al-Q'aida continues to count on the further
services of the Haradinaj clan, first and foremost, on Ramush
Haradinaj, a proven champion of the terrorist ideology of Islamic
extremists.
