Thaci, a thug and a terrorist will declare Kosovo's independence tomorrow, something Nato once swore would never happen.

"Apart from sending fighters to aid the KLA during the struggle in Kosovo with the Serbs, al-Qaeda is believed to have contributed funds to Albanian separatists and to have established strong links with Albanian Mafia leaders, who aid the formally disbanded but still existing KLA in schemes to raise money through narco-trafficking, prostitution and gun-running"

The Albanian Mafia controls the major Balkans narcotics-smuggling route that runs through Turkey, Bulgaria, Albania, Kosovo and FYROM. Although evidence remains sketchy of al-Qaeda involvement in narcotics, that isn't the case for the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan that profited from the heroin trade.

According to Fatos Klosi, the head of Albanian intelligence, a major network of bin Laden supporters was established in 1998 in Albania under the cover of various Muslim charities. The network served as a springboard for operations in Europe. Klosi claimed the network had "already infiltrated other parts of Europe from bases in Albania through traffic in illegal immigrants, who have been smuggled by speedboat across the Mediterranean to Italy in large numbers."

The UCK(KLA) was recognized as a terrorist organization by the US State Department.

"Osama Bin Laden

The origins of the KLA are somewhat murky, as are its current finances, but there are those who say the KLA was founded by hardline Muslim Communists who were frustrated by the Kosovar Albanian leadership's policy of nonviolent protest. Also, according to the Financial Times, the KLA is partially funded by drug proceeds. There is no doubt that mujahideen from the Persian Gulf have been fighting alongside ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.

The coercive, even murderous, methods the KLA used against ethnic Albanians to squelch dissent, as well as its attacks on Serbian police and civilians, earned it the terrorist designation from our State Department. Last February, for example, Robert Gelbard, then the department's point man on Kosovo, told Agence France Presse that the KLA rebels were terrorists. "We condemn very strongly terrorist actions in Kosovo," said Gelbard. "The UCK is, without any questions, a terrorist group."

Deeply troubling to some lawmakers are the ties between the KLA and anti-American Muslim terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden has millions of dollars, hundreds of followers, and has sworn to destroy America, which he sees as the main roadblock to the worldwide Islamic state.he wants to create. "



"Ten years ago we were arming and equipping the worst elements of the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan - drug traffickers, arms smugglers, anti-American terrorists…Now we're doing the same thing with the KLA, which is tied in with every known middle and far eastern drug cartel. Interpol, Europol, and nearly every European intelligence and counter-narcotics agency has files open on drug syndicates that lead right to the KLA, and right to Albanian gangs in this country."

We will now have another "state of Israel" right on our doorsteps. May God help us! Irresponsible politicians who can't help playing God have created another monster.

God help the few Serbs who have not been driven out and especially, God help the remaining Orthodox monasteries and their monks and nuns.
