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.

February 2000
UNHCR bus was transporting Serbian civilians when Albanian Muslim terrorists attacked the bus with a rocket propelled bomb in February 2000. Attacks on humanitarian convoys of non-Albanian civilians was a special method of terror used by Muslim Albanian terrorists specially against Serb civilians.
Oct. 6, 2000 — Milosevic resigns after mass demonstrations protesting his refusal to accept electoral defeat
February 16 2001
After a terrorist attack by Muslim Albanians on the bus with Serbian civilians in which 11 persons were killed (of which two children) and 40 persons were injured, UN police arrested a few suspicious Albanians. The main culprit Florim Ejupi was directly linked to the terrorist circles of organized Muslim Albanian crime, under “former KLA” and its successor KPS (Kosovo Police Service) under UN/NATO troops. In spite of all security measures in place, Ejupi escaped from American prison in Camp Bondsteel. British “Sunday Times” in its article by Bob Graham on July 29 2001, unraveled: “Mistake by British troops allowed the bomb attack on bus” indicating that N sources believe that Florim Ejupi was working for CIA. His trial would have been a big embarrassment, confirms the same source.”

August 15, 2003 With the mercury touching 40C (104F) in the blistering Balkan heatwave, the children of Gorazdevac merrily pursued their favourite summer pasttime – plunging in and out of a popular swimming stretch of the river Bistrica in western Kosovo.
Gorazdevac is a Serbian village among an overwhelming Albanian majority in the United Nations-run province. The splashing children, too, were Serbian, several dozen of them.
On Wednesday afternoon a man with a Kalashnikov machinegun suddenly started spraying the water with bullets. Pantelija Dakic, 11, and Ivan Jovovic, 20, were killed. Another four children were seriously wounded. The rest fled in panic.
“About 50 of us were taking a swim when we heard one, two, three machine gun bursts. I saw children falling around me, and then felt strong pain in my arm and knee,” one of the wounded told the Belgrade newspaper, Vecernje Novosti.

The murderous attack is extreme, even by the vicious standards that still prevail in Kosovo four years after a war that ended with Nato forces driving brutal Serbian occupying forces out of the province and left the Albanians under an international protectorate.
The murders also come at an extremely delicate time in the protracted wrangling over what will become of Kosovo, with the Albanians insisting on full independence, the Serbs demanding that Kosovo enjoy a form of home rule within Serbia, and the international community playing for time.
Murders and armed attacks are a weekly occurrence in the streets and villages of Kosovo, with the minority Serbs still clinging to an existence in the province particularly under threat from roaming bands of Albanian thugs.
October 2003 — First direct talks between Serbian and Kosovo Albanian leaders since 1999 end without agreement.

Lieutenant Colonel Higgins, was an American Marine officer serving the U.N. when his car was ambushed near the port city of Tyre. A group calling itself the Islamic Revolutionary Brigades, and also the Organization of the Oppressed of the Earth, claimed credit. They released a videotape in which Higgins was shown criticizing U.S. policy in the Middle East.

A new videotape showed a man hanging from a gallows.

Obeid was a senior Hizballah leader who was known to have directed many attacks against Israelis. He was also responsible for having orchestrated the abduction of Lt. Col. Higgins.
