Thousands foreign jihadists still in Bosnia
Un recente attentato a Bugojno ha risvegliato l'attenzione e l'allarme sulla presenza in Bosnia di migliaia di militanti islamisti radicali accorsi dall'estero nei primi anni Novanta, con la benedizione occidentale, per spaccare la Jugoslavia e tagliare le teste dei serbo-bosniaci. Gli USA ipocritamente oggi contestano al Pakistan di sostenere gli jihadisti, ma il Pakistan non fa altro che applicare la ricetta appresa dagli USA, come limpidamente fa notare un editorialista del quotidiano degli Emirati Arabi, Gulf News... Sulla questione dell'uso dei militanti islamisti nei Balcani da parte dei servizi segreti occidentali, e sulla presenza di Bin Laden in Bosnia sotto la protezione di Izetbegovic, in passato - soprattutto dopo l'11 Settembre - abbiamo fatto circolare moltissimo materiale attraverso questa mailing list.

US is no stranger to double-dealing
US is no stranger to double-dealing
The American media accusing Pakistan of deceit should realise their country has a history of doing the same thing
By Marwan Al Kabalan
Following the revelation by WikiLeaks that there have been fresh allegations that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is secretly aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan, sections of the US media rushed to accuse Islamabad of supporting both sides of the decade-old conflict. A lengthy op-ed in the New York Times on Tuesday said that Pakistan had been involved in double-dealing for years. "Despite the billions of dollars the United States has sent in aid to Pakistan since September 11, [the revelation] offers powerful new evidence that crucial elements of Islamabad's power structure have been actively helping to direct and support the forces attacking the American-led military coalition", the New York Times said.
Critics of Pakistan tend to forget, however, that double-dealing is Washington's favourite foreign policy strategy. When weaker nations adopt the same method they are merely following in the footsteps of the master. Furthermore, if the ISI maintains strong ties with the Taliban, the US was the main sponsor and supporter of both the ISI and the Taliban.
In fact, since the early years of the Cold War, the US regarded Islam as a key foreign policy tool to achieve its strategic objectives in the Gulf and the Middle East. Washington believed that the best way to contain the Soviet Union in this region was by establishing a green belt that stretched from Pakistan in the east to Egypt in the west. Mohammad Hassanein Heikal, a well-known Egyptian commentator, claimed that this plan was revealed to him by General Alfred Armistead, who was in charge of US military aid to Third World countries. Heikal also claimed that this same point was mentioned again when he met former US secretary of state John Foster Dulles. Dulles told Heikal, "Your region was floating on two seas: oil and religion". During this period, the US relied on the support of what it considered moderate Islamic governments. These included Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Morocco, Indonesia, Turkey and Iran.
In 1979, with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the US was no longer in a position to rely solely on moderate Islamic governments to protect its interests in the region. It hence established a ‘Rapid Deployment Task Force' intended to intervene at short notice in the event of further Soviet advancement towards the Gulf. It also had other aims in mind.
In an interview with the French magazine Le Nouvel Observateur, former US national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski admitted that the US plan in Afghanistan was to force the Soviet Union to invade the country. By supporting Islamic elements against the Marxist regime in Kabul, the US intended to destabilise the predominantly Muslim parts of Soviet Central Asia and drag Moscow into the Afghan quicksand where a war of attrition could be started. Hence, Brzezinski devised a strategy that envisaged establishing an Islamic alliance against the Soviet invasion. Brzezinski believed that because of the ideological antipathy between Islam and Communism, Islamic states would serve as a bulwark against the Soviets. Subsequently, he flew to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to sell the US plan. Brzezinski's tour was highly successful. Saudi Arabia agreed to provide financial support, Egypt weapons and Pakistan training and logistics. The Soviet Union was duly
defeated in Afghanistan and ultimately collapsed.
Serious allegations
After the end of the Cold War, political Islam fell from grace. After 9/11 in particular, the US started accusing Saudi Arabia and Pakistan of creating a "monster". In a report on the September 11, 2001 attacks released after months of investigation by a joint panel of the US House and Senate intelligence committees, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan were accused of having funnelled hundreds of millions of dollars to charitable groups and other organisations that were suspected of assisting the September 11 hijackers.
The Bush administration made most of the 900-page report public but, for "national security reasons", decided to classify 28 pages. The declassified part focused on the role played by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in financing and training Islamic activists in the 1980s and 1990s. In Afghanistan and Bosnia, the report accused Riyadh and Islamabad of supporting Arab Mujahideen fighting Soviet and Serb forces. Yet, the report failed to mention that successive Republican and Democratic administrations had also provided financial and logistical support for the Afghan Mujahideen and that the CIA had led a coordinated effort to expel the Soviet forces from Afghanistan. The report also ignored the fact that covert support for the Mujahideen received bipartisan backing in the 1980s and that under the Reagan administration Washington provided Islamic fighters with some of the most sophisticated weapons in its arsenal, including the Stinger anti-aircraft missile. As
for Bosnia, the report failed to acknowledge that the Clinton administration had urged Saudi Arabia to pay for Iranian-made arms shipped to Bosnian Muslims through Turkey and that Arab Mujahideen were parachuted over Bosnia by US airplanes.
But apparently, all this does not amount to double-dealing in the eyes of some Americans.

Bosnia: 3,000 militants 'pose grave security threat'
Sarajevo: There are some 3,000 well equipped radical Islamist militants in Bosnia, who pose a serious terror threat to the country, according to top security officials quoted by Bosnian media on Tuesday.
Bosnia state security agency OSA director Almir Dzuvo, said most of the potential terrorists were local people known to police, while only three percent were foreigners.
“They are much better equipped than the police,” Bosnian daily, Dnevni avaz cited Dzuvo as telling a joint commission on defence and security.
“Most potential terrorists have been on police registers for several years,” he added, waving a list of 3,000 terrorism suspects in his hand.
Reporting to the commission on the bombing of a police station in the western town of Bugojno in June in which one policeman was killed and six were wounded, Dzuvo warned worse attacks would follow.
“I see a potential danger from 3,000 persons who can at any moment, for psychological or other reasons, commit terrorist acts much worse that this one (in Bugojno),”Dzuvo said.
“Police can't do anything to them until they commit a terrorist act like the one in Bugojno or something on a similar scale,” Dzuvo said.
He appealed to politicians to enact tough security legislation to help foil terror plots.
Dzuvo said most potential terrorists were followers of the fundamentalist Salafite Islamic movement, also known as Wahabism, which originated in Saudi Arabia.
A lax attitude to Wahabism by Bosnian authorities has allowed it to take root in the country and for Wahabi cells to radicalise supporters and plot violence, according to a number of terrorism experts.
Wahabi ideology is relatively new in Europe and was brought to Bosnia by foreign Muslim fighters or mujahadeen who fought on the side of local Muslims in the country's bloody 1992-1995 war.
Many mujahadeen acquired Bosnian citizenship and remained in the country after the war, operating terrorist training camps in Bosnia and indoctrinating local youths.
The police were doing its work, but there was “no political will to do more,” the director of Bosnia’s federal police, Zlatko Miletic told the commission, quoted by Dnevni avaz.

“Thousands of potential terrorists in Bosnia”
SARAJEVO: Director of the Information-Security Agency of Bosnia-Herzegovina (OSA) Almir Dzuvo said that there are about “3,000 potential terrorists in Bosnia”.
Dzuvo told the Sarajevo daily Dnevni Avaz that most of them have been registered by police over the last several years.
“Only about three or four percent of them are foreigners. The rest are Bosnia-Herzegovina citizens. They are very well equipped. A lot better than our police,” Dzuvo was quoted as saying.
“But, police cannot do anything until they commit a terrorist act, like Bugojno or some other act that is just as serious,” Dzuvo said at a meeting of the Joint Commission for Defense and Security, which was held to discuss the recent attack on the Bugojno police station that killed one officer.
He said that politicians need to change existing laws, adding that “3,000 people, because of psychological and other states, can perform a terrorist act that will have much greater consequences than this one.”
Director of the Federal Police Administration Zlatko Miletic said that police were working to do their part, but that there was "no political will to deal with the remaining issues".
Chief State Prosecutor Milorad Barasin said that radical Islamist groups in Bosnia "do not recognize the state institutions, drive cars without licenses, and do not want personal identification cards".
“The prosecution reacts when there are consequences, because the laws do no allow us to do anything before that. That must change,” Barasin said.

Bosnia: Suspected Islamist bombing 'the beginning' say experts
Sarajevo and Belgrade, 28 June (AKI) – Sunday's bloody bombing of a police station in Bosnia in a suspected radical Islamist attack is only the beginning of a wave of violence in Bosnia, terrorism experts said on Monday.
Police have arrested at least five people over the attack in the central town of Bugojno, in which one person was killed and six wounded.
Among those arrested was Haris Causevic, who admitted planting the explosive device near a police station in the town 75 kilometres northwest of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo.
Causevic is believed to be a member of the fundamentalist Islamic Wahabi Islamist movement. Benevolence towards Wahabism by Bosnian authorities have allowed it to radicalise supporters and plot violence, according to Galijasevic and other terrorism experts.
Local politicians have for too long treated Wahabi groups propagating violent Islam with excessive tolerance, Bosnian terrorism expert Dzevad Galijasevic, told Adnkronos International (AKI).
“This (attack) was to be expected and it is just the beginning,” Galijasevic, who is a Muslim, told AKI.
“Bosnia has a very stormy period ahead,” he warned.
Galijasevic said about five percent of Bosnia’s 1.5 million Muslims had been indoctrinated by Wahabi ideology, but the number of their supporters may be about 12 per cent of the population.
Though Wahabism is considered a radical religious movement in Bosnia, Wahabis are playing a central role in terrorist activities in the Musim-majority country, according to Galijasevic.
"Their activities have nothing to do with religion," he said.
There had been scores of murders and terrorist activities in Bosnia, but local authorities have played these down as “isolated incidents and ordinary crime,” Galijasevic said.
“Bosnia-Herzegovina simply isn’t ready to explicitly call it terrorism, although western intelligence agencies are pefectly aware of what's going on," he stated.
Galijasevic claimed radical Islam had a strong supporter in wartime Bosnian Muslim president Alija Izetbegovic and current Muslim member of the joint state presidency Haris Silajdzic, who condemned Sunday's bombing as an attack on the state.
Galijasevic heads a non-governmental southeast European counter-terrorist organisation with Serbian expert on terrorism Darko Trifunovic and a Croatian Domagoj Margetic.
They have frequently warned that Bosnia has become a European hotbed of radical Islam and Al-Qaeda-linked terrorist activities.
Trifunovic agreed that most of Bosnian Muslim leaders have ignored the activities of radical Islamists and played down their terrorist activities.
“We have been highlighting this problem for years, but no one paid attention,” he told AKI.
Attacks such as the one in Bugojno were the "logical consequence" of ignoring the security threat posed by Wahabism, he said.
"I’m afraid this is not the end,” Trifunovic said.

Terrorismo: processo Islam
Condannati tutti gli imputati
''I giudici la pagheranno''
Condannati tutti gli imputati
''I giudici la pagheranno''
Accolte le richieste del Pm. I sei islamici sono ritenuti appartenenti a una cellula jihadista e avrebbero svolto attività di proselitismo e riecerca fondi. Due di loro hanno espresso sdegno per il verdetto: "Inspiegabile"
BOLOGNA, 17 GIUGNO 2010- Sono state accolte le richieste di condanna del pm Luca Tambieri per i sei imputati islamici ritenuti appartenenti a una cellula jihadista.
I sei gli islamici, 5 tunisini e un marocchino, sono stati tutti condannati dalla Corte d'Assise di Bologna. A otto anni e due mesi e’ stato condannato Khalil Jarraya, tunisino di 41 anni, che viveva con la famiglia a Faenza (Ravenna), detto anche il colonnello perche’ aveva combattuto nelle milizie bosniache dei ‘Mujihaddin’ durante la guerra nella ex Jugoslavia e che la sentenza ha indicato come promotore; sette anni di condanna per i due tunisini Mohamed Chabchoub, residente a Dozza Imolese (Bologna), e Kalid Kammoun, rimasto latitante fino a un mese fa quando si e’ consegnato alle autorita’ italiane, entrambi ritenuti dai giudici organizzatori.
Cinque anni e due mesi per Hechmi Msaadi, tunisino di 33 anni, residente a Imola, e cinque anni ciascuno per Ben Chedli Bergaoui, tunisino di 36 anni, e Mourad Mazi, marocchino di 35, di Imola. Tutti e tre vengono indicati dalla sentenza come partecipi alla organizzazione.
Le accuse al centro del processo erano di associazione terroristica internazionale e una truffa. Secondo l’accusa, i sei si stavano organizzando per andare a combattere in Iraq o Afghanistan come potenziali kamikaze o supporto dei martiri. Ed e’ proprio per combattere la ‘guerra santa’ che avrebbero svolto attivita’ di proselitismo. Alcuni imputati, che sono in carcere da due anni, dopo la lettura della sentenza hanno definito inspiegabile la condanna.
