Stratfor gehört zu den besten Quellen.
Im Kosovo befinden sich Islamische Terroristen Trainings Camps (2005), welche unter Kontrolle der UCK Terroristen sind (welche sich jetzt Politiker und TMK KPC nennen).
Der Stratfor bericht, beruft sich auf Geheimdienst Berichte.
Diese Trainings Camps gehören zu einer Internationalem Netz Islamischer Terroristen, wobei Albansiche Terroristen jüngst an der Grenz Afghanistan zu Pakistan festgenommen wurde.
Die NATO beendete die Terroristen Ausbildung der UCK Verbrecher erst im Mai 2003, nachdem sich einige UCK KPC TMK Terroristen selbst in die Luft gesprengt hatten bei Anschlägen.
Lt. Joschka Fischer ist das TMK eine Art ziviles THW. Was eine glatte Lüge des Joschka Fischer von Beginn an war. Terrorismusm Mafia und die Fischer Bande, haben engste Verbindungen. Die Übergabe der Visa Stelle in Pristina an das Organisierte Verbrechen durch die Fischer Bande ist ja gut dokumentiert.
Balkan Training Camps Pose a New Attack Threat
Apr 01, 2005
German intelligence’s discovery of a militant Islamist training
network in Bosnia and Kosovo, with roots on the Afghan-Pakistani
border, suggests that some jihadist networks are still able to reach
across the globe and stage attacks.
Analysis
Europe faces potential attack threats from European-looking Islamist
militants. Sources in German intelligence and the Israeli government
say the militants in question, Muslim Albanians from Kosovo’s
Orahovac region, are getting advanced training in Kosovo.
The information, if correct, suggests that a certain group of
international militant Islamists have developed an intricate global
network, operating basic training camps on the Afghan-Pakistani
border and advanced training programs in the Balkans – where they
are relying on the advanced skills of combat-tested veterans from the
Chechen and Iraqi wars. This particular network, according to the
sources, aims to conduct operations in Europe and Israel, though
other similar networks also likely exist in Germany and North
America. It is unclear whether such networks are linked to each other
– or to al Qaeda.
Sources in German intelligence and in the Israeli government
independently reported the same information on Islamist militant
training camps in Kosovo that have sent their most recent “graduates”
to Bosnia. Germany in particular, through its Federal Intelligence
Service and other intelligence services, is keeping a keen eye on the
Balkans – where Kosovo and Bosnia are located – as it tries to
reclaim its interests there. Also, intelligence sources in KFOR, the
NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo, say they are aware of Islamist
training activities in Kosovo in general but do not know about the
militants sent to Bosnia. Reports of militant Islamist training in
the Balkans date as far back as 2002.
The actual intelligence pertains to several dozen ethnic Kosovar
Albanian militants discovered in Bosnia. No arrests have been made,
however, perhaps because counterterrorism authorities are tracking
them. According to the intelligence, these militants, from Kosovo’s
Orahovacs region, received basic training near the Afghan-Pakistani
border and then returned to Kosovo for advanced training. They then
relocated to Bosnia, where Imam Sulejman Bugari – an ethnic Albanian
from Orahovac in Kosovo and head of the White Mosque in Vratnik, a
Muslim-dominated part of Sarajevo – offered them religious support.
This also is where Bosnian-based Islamist commanders supposedly are
posed to provide the militants with their instructions on where and
how to attack.
The advantage of sending white Islamists into Europe, of course, is
that they blend in well with the local populations and would attract
little attention during the planning phase of an operation. According
to the Israeli sources, these Kosovar Albanian militants are trained
to launch terrorist-style attacks – possibly including suicide
bombings – in Europe and Israel.
The fact that the network’s training program includes basic and
advanced levels – in different countries – indicates both a high
level of organization and a system designed to turn out well-trained
combatants. Instructors in charge of basic training on either side of
the Afghan-Pakistani border most likely are regional veterans of the
1980s war in Afghanistan. Training in this region is considered basic
because the instructors have had only low-intensity, somewhat
sporadic combat experience – meaning they have used machine guns or
other basic firearms in guerrilla-type combat or perhaps have planted
the simplest of road bombs.
Advanced training takes place in Kosovo for two main reasons:
location and the quality of the instructors. As a result of ethnic
wars in the early 1990s, Kosovo and Bosnia have very weak central
authorities that cannot – or will not – monitor and combat
terrorist-training activity. The authoritative bodies within the
region, NATO and EU peacekeepers, are there to control ethnic
uprisings and might not be looking for other potential security
threats in the area.
Though some intelligence officers in the EUFOR, the EU-lead
peacekeeping force in Bosnia, and KFOR in Kosovo sometimes report on
Islamist activities in both regions, such leads are rarely
investigated, sources in the Italian contingent said. For instance,
militant Albanians practicing on firing ranges have been known to
pose as police recruits, according to Albanian sources.
Counterterrorism authorities in the area probably would not think
twice about such activity, since they would assume nothing so
sinister could be going on right under the peacekeepers’ noses.
In addition to working in a secure area in Kosovo, the Albanians and
perhaps other new jihadists are receiving advanced-level training
from battle-hardened Iraqi and Chechen Islamists – German
intelligence sources say – who have come up against two challenging
and capable opponents: U.S. and Russian troops. The intensity of the
opposition faced by Iraqi and Chechen militants has forced them to
develop and improve their tactics – lessons they can pass on to the
Albanian Islamist militants.
The sources say this group of militants is now in Bosnia. It is
unclear whether Bosnia is a target or merely a transit zone for these
militants, although the latter seems the more plausible, as the
sources have pinpointed Europe and Israel as the targets. Also,
considering that the Islamist militant commanders are in the Bosnian
capital of Sarajevo, Bosnia likely serves as the command and control
center for this network, so staging attacks there could jeopardize
their safe haven. EU peacekeepers in Bosnia, however, would offer a
handy target should they want to stage an attack from their present
position.
It should be noted that neither the German nor the Israeli source
linked the Albanian Islamist militants to the al Qaeda network. The
failure to mention al Qaeda could be another indication that Osama
bin Laden’s network is losing influence over the transnational
jihadist movement.
The recently-uncovered network, however, is not the only such group.
Other international Islamist networks also have been established to
train and distribute militants to target various areas. According to
the March 30 Washington Post, an FBI affidavit, for example, has
reported on a possible North American network of Islamist militants,
in which militants are recruited to fight in Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya
and Somalia. There also is a group of militants trained in Georgia’s
Pankisi Gorge and a group in Germany, where, media sources say,
officials have acknowledged that Iraq’s Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was
planning chemical attacks against Europe. It is unclear whether these
networks are connected to one another, or to al Qaeda.
Whether the Albanian Islamist militants graduated from this training
network pose a credible security threat depends on two primary
factors. The first is how well security services react to the
network. Judging by what Stratfor has learned, German intelligence
and the Israeli government are aware of the networks’ existence,
which, of course, is the first step in thwarting an attack – though
it is not a guarantee.
The second factor is the militants’ capabilities. Albanians have
cropped up among Islamist militants in the past, but no information
suggests Albanians have played a major role – either in planning or
executing major attacks – anywhere in the jihadist theaters of
operations. This suggests the group’s capabilities could be limited
to small-scale guerrilla-style attacks and individual assassination
attempts. On the other hand, the Albanians could still surprise.
