Plotting Attacks on Jewish and U.S. Targets in Europe

One of the four suspects arrested in Norway on terrorism charges last week was in contact with Princ Dobrosi, a Kosovo Albanian mafia boss that formerly ran the largest European heroin empire from Prague.

According to the Norwegian daily Dagbladet, Dobrosi has established connections with one of the Oslo detainees, Pakistani Arfan Qadeer Bhatti, who headed a four member al-Qaeda group planning attacks on the Israeli and US embassies in Oslo.

“Dobrosi had contacts with one of the people who have been detained in Norway in connection with allegedly planned attacks on Jewish targets,” Gunnar Hultgreen, reporter of the Norwegian daily Dagbladet, said citing his sources from the police and intelligence.

Arfan Qadeer Bhatti visited Dobrosi in Pristina, Kosovo, this summer. It is not clear what was the reason for the visit but unconfirmed reports suggest that the two may have been plotting attacks on Jewish targets in Prague.

Jiri Komorous, head of the Czech anti drug squad, confirmed on Monday that Dobrosi recently spent several weeks in Prague but did not want to comment whether Dobrosi is tied with terrorists.

“We don’t have information that he would continue pursuing drug business,” Komorous said.

Norwegian police has been pursuing Dobrosi since 1996 because he escaped from a local prison after bribing a ward who smuggled him out in a van with dirty linen. Fugitive Dobrosi underwent a plastic surgery in Croatia.

Dobroshi Buying Rocket Systems and Infantry Weapons

Princ Dobroshi (born 1964) was a head of Albanian drug gang in Kosovo.

Dobroshi had controlled the northern path of the “Balkans route” (Turkey-Balkans-Czech Republic-Nordic countries) of heroin trade and was infamous for his brutality. In 1993 he was caught in Norway and in 1994 sentenced to 14 years in prison for heroin trafficking (other charges were pending in Sweden and Denmark). In a well coordinated operation he escaped from the Ullersmo Prison in 1997, travelled to Croatia and underwent plastic surgery of face. As a new place of living he picked up the Czech Republic and soon dominated over local Albanian drug mafias. On February 23, 1999 he was arrested in Prague. In his flat police secured weapons, money and documents showing that Dobroshi has been buying rocket systems and infantry weapons on behalf of UÇK (KLA). Over forty people were arrested all over Europe in follow-up operation.

The criminal underground had planned an armed attack on the Pankrác Prison but in August 1999 Dobroshi was extradited to Norway.

Kosovo, Clinton’s Most Outrageous Whopper

Of all the whoppers told by former President Clinton in his Chris Wallace interview, perhaps the most outrageous was his claim that he was involved in “trying to stop a genocide in Kosovo...” In fact, Clinton’s bombing of the former Yugoslavia killed more people than died in this “genocide.” And his policy benefited Osama bin Laden and the global Jihad.

In the year before the bombing, some 2,000 people had been killed in a civil war in Kosovo. A conservative estimate is that 6,000 were killed by U.S. and NATO bombs.

It’s strange as well that Clinton complained to Wallace about the “neocons” attacking him when many of the same neocons in 1999 supported Clinton’s war on Yugoslavia. The war was never approved by the U.N. or the U.S. Congress, and in fact violated the War Powers Act. The main beneficiary of the intervention was a Muslim terrorist group, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), with links to bin Laden, who had declared war on America in 1996, bombed our embassies in Africa in 1998, and would later, of course, orchestrate 9/11.

Pro-Muslim Foreign Policy

When former CIA official Michael Scheuer says that the Clinton Administration “had eight to ten chances” to kill bin Laden and “they refused to try,” he is making a statement that goes far beyond acknowledging Clinton Administration incompetence or a lack of will. The fact is that Clinton had a pro-Muslim foreign policy that actually benefited bin Laden and facilitated 9/11. Most Republicans don’t mention this because too many of them were duped into backing Clinton’s misguided policy in Kosovo. President Bush, then a candidate, even backed U.S. military intervention there through NATO.

Scheuer’s CIA also has a lot to answer for. It is noteworthy that the CIA issued a January 2000 report that essentially whitewashed the nature of the KLA and claimed it was pro-American. The only public release of this dubious report came through Rep. Elliot Engel, in a posting on the website of the National Albanian American Council, which supports an Albanian Muslim takeover of Kosovo.

That report was prepared under CIA Director George Tenet, who on February 2, 1999, gave testimony referring to the Serb “massacre at Raçak,” which provided the pretext for NATO intervention against Serbia but which turned out to be a hoax. Tenet was, of course, kept on by President Bush. Not only were Tenet’s fingerprints all over the failed and deceptive policy in Kosovo, he told Bush that finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was a slam dunk.

Media Blackout On Kosovo Terrorism

[...] Our media like to talk about Iraq, because they think the issue will damage Bush, but Kosovo gets no mention, except when Clinton himself or former officials of his administration bring it up and claim it as a foreign policy success. There is no coverage of the anti-Christian Jihad underway there. But seven years after the illegal Kosovo intervention, the September 15 Washington Post reports on a new World Bank study on fragile or failing states that “can breed terrorism.” One of them is listed as Kosovo, which is not a state—not yet. Actually, in the report itself, Kosovo is identified as a “territory,” not a province of Serbia, but the point remains valid. Kosovo is identified as being “outside the control of a recognized and reputable government,” offering “fertile soil on which terrorism could thrive.” Terrorism is thriving there, of course, because it was Clinton’s official policy to support the terrorist KLA and remove Kosovo from Serbian control.

[...] Compounding the failure of the Clinton policy in Kosovo, the George Soros-funded International Crisis Group recently released a report saying that the international community “must avoid creating a weak state” and that the territory must have its own army. Left unsaid is that it would be an army dominated by former members of the KLA. That would be the ultimate reward for terrorism. The terrorists would become the official army of Kosovo.

Buried in the report, on page 8, you will find an interesting piece of information. It states that “A tiny but growing minority is turning to Wahhabi Islam,” the dangerous brand of Sunni Islam underwritten by Saudi Arabia, which is also financing the building of many mosques in Kosovo. But this should come as no surprise. That element was always there, nurtured by the Clinton policy. Now it gathers force again, just as it did before 9/11.
