Belgrade: “Thirteen of nineteen hijackers who destroyed the World Trade Center buildings in New York and attacked the Pentagon were in Kosovo, Metohija, Kosovo and Bosnia. They were for a while in the house of an American citizen of the Bosnian origin,” Dr. Miroljub Jevtic, a Political Science Faculty Professor and expert for Islam, said to “Nacional”.

He pointed out that he had reached that “unbelievable data” during his several-day stay in the U.S. (from where he had just returned) from two very influential people he had met. “I could not personally verify this information, but my sources are very well informed. One of them belongs to the category of exceptionally well informed and reliable people whose pieces of information should not be doubted,” Jeftic pointed out, refusing to say who he was.

The most famous European expert on Islam stated this information so as to confirm his and other warnings, particularly by the Military-Security Agency, that the extreme terrorist organizations “Vehabija”, “Crvena Ruza” (Red Rose), and “Teratikt” operated in Kosmet (Kosovo/Metohija), Montenegro, BiH, Albania, and Macedonia and they belonged to the network of the al Qaeda terrorist organization.

“I personally do not know COL Stojanovic, but if it happens that I meet him, I will tell him that he is absolutely right for every stated assessment. Furthermore, he also stated the concrete facts which confirmed all this: Fatos Klosi, the recently replaced Security Chief of Albania, stated that Osama bin Laden visited Albania in one Saudi Arabian delegation in mid-eighties so as to establish his network.

Professor Jeftic stated one more fact that, he said, “was as firm as concrete” and which confirmed that the al Qaeda terrorists were in these areas and that their ramified network existed here. “Seik Ben Abdel Kader, the French citizen, was sentenced before the Albanian Court in Tirana for killing his translator, the Albanian citizen. In the course of trial, he himself admitted that he was a member of Osama bin Laden’s terrorist organization. He also said that he had come to Albania to prepare the Albanian Muslims for ‘jihad” against Serbs in Kosmet,” Jeftic claimed. He pointed out that the extreme organizations linked with al Qaeda were also present in Sandzak and Montenegro.

According to the al Qaeda ideologists, these were parts of the “Islamic area”, he said. Sandzak was physically connected with Kosmet and BiH. All those who had fought in Bosnia in the Army of Alija Izetbegovic established their organizations in these areas, which al Qaeda looked at as “its own”; they did this through the SDA of Alija Izetbegovic. He said that Rozaje and Tutin were “the most Muslim areas among all Muslims of the Serb language”.

Criticisms of Momir Stojanovic, the Military-Security Agency Director, for the stances about the work of the extremist organizations in the al Qaeda network in Montenegro were politicized and in the function of fight for power preserving. “The Montenegrin government maintains itself by collaborating with the Albanian separatists and Muslim lobby. The reveling of such activities of extremists means the fall of the government and later, when everything is revealed, the criminal responsibility as well. Some one will have to go to prison for these lapses,” Jeftic claimed. “ Al Qaeda threatens SiCG as well. The additional motive will be the deployment of our soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan. Every foreign force that will be there will be the legitimate target from the point of view of al Qaeda.”

He also said: “Some one will be held responsible, although this is pretty covered up. Slobodan Milosevic and his Socialist government should be the first one responsible for this, then DOS, which just spiced up all this. Two people from the ‘List for Sandzak’ are on the DS list. Sulejman Ugljanin leads this political group. In two books of interviews, Adil Zulfikarpasic, who used to be the Vice President of the party whose functionary Ugljanin is, said that the party of ‘Sulejman Ugljanin, that is, the SDA, was organized in fascist manner’. This indirectly shows that Zulfikarpasic could be a court witness that the DS is in coalition with fascists,” Jeftic said. –IP (D.V. Petrovic, pg. – 2 of 32)
