AL QAEDA SMUGGLING IN HUGE QUANTITIES OF EXPLOSIVES THROUGH CROATIA

IOE: Bosnia: Al-Qaeda smuggling weapons into Croatia

Al-Qaeda and the Muslim fundamentalist Wahabi movement's operatives have been smuggling weapons and explosives into neighbouring Croatia, Bosnian daily Nezavisne novine reported on Wednesday.

Quoting Bosnian security sources, the paper said huge quantities of weapons and explosives have been smuggled into the areas of Croatia with sizeable Muslim population in recent months.

The weapons were shipped to the Croatian capital Zagreb, nearby Karlovac and the Adriatic port of Split, according to a document from the Bosnian security agency, quoted by the paper.

The document said the operation has been masterminded by Bosnian Muslims Vladimir Popilovski, Kemal Alagic, Semsudin Mehmedovic, Naser Panaslamovic and Omer Murselovic.

No arrests have been made in connection with the allegation of weapons smuggling to Croatia, which is an official candidate for EU membership and hopes to join the bloc by 2010.

THE ENEMY IS ADVANCING... THE BARBARIANS ARE UNDER THE GATES... AND I DON'T THINK THEY'RE JUST TARGETING THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIAN REPUBLIC.

IMHO: THIS IS MERELY A PORT OF ENTRY FORE THEIR CONTINENTAL OPERATIONS.
