[1] LARGE THREAD ON THE DEEP STATE
Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program to arm and finance the mujahideen (jihadists) in Afghanistan.
In the 1980s Washington's secret services had assisted Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran. Then, in 1990, the US fought him in the Gulf. In both Afghanistan and the Gulf, the Pentagon had incurred debts to Islamist groups and their Middle Eastern sponsors.
By 1993 these groups, many supported by Iran and Saudi Arabia, were anxious to help Bosnian Muslims fighting in the former Yugoslavia and called in their debts with the Americans.
Bill Clinton and the Pentagon were keen to be seen as creditworthy and repaid in the form of an Iran-Contra style operation - in flagrant violation of the UN security council arms embargo against all combatants in the former Yugoslavia.
The result was a vast secret conduit of weapons smuggling though Croatia. This was arranged by the clandestine agencies of the US, Turkey and Iran, together with a range of radical Islamist groups, including Afghan mojahEedin and the pro-Iranian Hizbullah.
Wiebes reveals that the British intelligence services obtained documents early on in the Bosnian war proving that Iran was making direct deliveries.

Arms purchased by Iran and Turkey with the financial backing of Saudi Arabia made their way by night from the Middle East.
Initially aircraft from Iran Air were used, but as the volume increased they were joined by a mysterious fleet of black C-130 Hercules aircraft. The report stresses that the US was "very closely involved" in the airlift.
Mojahedin fighters were also flown in, but they were reserved as shock troops for especially hazardous operations.

Rather than the CIA, the Pentagon's own secret service was the hidden force behind these operations.
In 1992 the war in Bosnia began. An official Dutch report authored in 2002 by Professor Cees Wiebes from the University of Amsterdam shows that the Pentagon secretly flew thousands of Al-Qaida soldiers into Bosnia, ostensibly in support of Bosnian Muslims.
But these brutal thugs provoked the Serbs so that a peaceful solution was impossible. Nato and the United States supported the Bosnian Muslims with the air strikes.

In 1996, the Kosovo Liberation Army was trained by a high-ranking Al-Qaeda-operative across the border to Albania.
But simultaneously, British and US military experts helped.
In 2001, jihadists turned up in Macedonia, now in the guise of the nationalist sister faction, the National Liberation Army (NLA), which was secretly sponsored by Nato and the United States for years as revealed in the👇
...Dutch and German media.

Yet Macedonian intelligence reported that Al-Qaeda was also training the NLA in the Kumanovo-Lipkovo region. This information was sent to the CIA and National Security Council in the United States.
Bosnian mujahideen, also called El Mudžahid (from Arabic: مجاهد, mujāhid), were foreign Muslim volunteers who fought on the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) side during the 1992–95 Bosnian War. 👇
These first arrived in central Bosnia in the second half of 1992 with the aim of fighting for Islam (as mujahideen), helping their Bosnian Muslim co-religionists to defend themselves from the Serb and Croat forces.
Mostly they came from North Africa, the Near East and the Middle East. Estimates of their numbers vary from 500 to 6,000.

3. The Radical Islamic Character of the Sarajevo Regime (page 8): Underlying the Clinton Administration's misguided green light policy is a complete misreading of its main beneficiary, the Bosnian Muslim government of Alija Izetbegovic.
Rather than being the tolerant, multiethnic democratic government it pretends to be, there is clear evidence that the ruling circle of Izetbegovic's party, the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), has long been guided by the principles of radical Islam.
This Islamist orientation is illustrated by profiles of three important officials, including President Izetbegovic himself; the progressive Islamization of the Bosnian army, including creation of native Bosnian mujahedin units;
credible claims that major atrocities against civilians in Sarajevo were staged for propaganda purposes by operatives of the Izetbegovic government; and suppression of enemies, both non-Muslim and Muslim.
To understand how the Clinton green light would lead to this degree of Iranian influence, it is necessary to remember that the policy was adopted in the context of extensive and growing radical Islamic activity in Bosnia. That is, the Iranians and other Muslim militants...

[4] QASSEM SOLEIMANI IN BOSNIA

BiH, Vecernji List reports. Asked by Diab whether he was in BiH, Qassem replied:

“Of course I was, but a long time ago, in 1993 and 1994. Wherever the Muslims need help, I am there.” When he said good-bye to the guard, Soleimani’s response was👇
“Pray for me to die as a martyr, that is my greatest desire,” Diab said in the text. According to Diab, he personally met with General Soleimani twice in Iran, once in Tehran at the 2016 conference and the second time in the city of Mashad a year later.
He states that the Iranian general acted very modestly, and that “he was seen weighing every word spoken.”

Soleimani was assassinated in a targeted U.S. drone strike on 3 January 2020 in Baghdad, which was approved by President Donald Trump on the grounds that Soleimani posed an “imminent threat” to American lives.
[4] MUJAHIDEEN WAR CRIMES ON SERBS & CROATS

Former Bosnian Serb servicemen Miodrag Samac told the Sarajevo-based court on Wednesday that while he was held captive by the Bosnian Army’s El Mujahedeen unit in Zavidovici in July 1995, he was assaulted and forced to...
kiss the severed head of a murdered fellow prisoner.

Samac testified that he was taken prisoner on July 21, 1995 near Vozuca in the Zavidovici municipality by El Mujahedeen fighters...
“We thought they were members of the Bosnian army. However, they looked nothing like people from here. Some had big beards and did not speak the language,” said Samac.

He said that he was then taken with other prisoners to Livade, where they were tied up in a house.
“They hit us while we were tied up. They gave us electric shocks, and while they beat us, they filmed it with a camera. I fell unconscious with a wire around my neck and my hands and legs tied,” he said.
The witness said that the prisoners from Livade were taken to the El Mujahedeen camp in Gostovici on July 23, 1995.

“There they took us to the playing field, between white tents, and spat on us, beat us,” he said.
“One night they told us to lie on our stomachs and blindfolded our eyes. Then one of the prisoners, Gojko Vujicic, said he would kill them all. We heard a shot, someone saying ‘Allah Akbar’, and a thud,” he added.
fter the blindfolds were removed, Samac was forced to kiss Vujicic’s severed head, he said.

“The head was mounted in the room we were staying in,” he added.

Former Bosnian Army Third Corps commander Sakib Mahmuljin is charged with failing to stop the volunteer fighters from...
the El Mujahideen unit committing war crimes against Serb civilians and prisoners of war in the village of Vozuca in 1995, or to punish them for what they did.

According to the charges, the Islamic volunteers killed more than 50 Serb prisoners in Vozuca.
Some of their heads were cut off and shown to other captives.

The indictment alleges that Mahmuljin failed to take any action in order to prevent the crimes, although he had been informed that members of the unit were getting ready to commit the crime, and failed to do...
anything in order to punish the crime perpetrators.

Another former Bosnian Serb serviceman, Velibor Tesic, also testified at Wednesday’s hearing and said that he was taken captive and transferred to Livade and then to Gostovici.
He confirmed that El Mujahedeen fighters killed Vujicic and cut off his head.

Atrocities were also committed against Croat civilians by Muslim forces. In particular, they drew attention to a particularly horrendous episode which took place in Miletici, a remote Croat hamlet...
in the mountains of central Bosnia, in April 1993. This was testified to by Witness HH122 and Mr. Kujawinski.

Witness HH visited Miletici during his fact-finding mission for the United Nations Special Rapporteur Tadeusz Mazowiecki.
In Miletici, he entered a room which was badly damaged, and which had blood on the floor and walls. He was told by locals that apparently five foreign Mujahedin had stayed there. These Mujahedin had tortured and killed five young Croats.
As a consequence, most of the Croatian inhabitants of the village had fled.

In the village of Vozuća near Zavidovići in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the most monstrous war crimes in the former Yugoslavia took place...
...the victims of which were Serb civilians and the army - 500 of them were brutally killed.

Even 20+ years later, it is still unknown where 129 Serbs from the area of ​​Vozuća and Ozren, fighters of the Army of Republika Srpska and civilians went missing....
This war crime is rarely talked about in public, and it was in that place that brutal murders and ethnic cleansing of Serbs who lived in that area were committed.

Strong assistance to the then Muslim leader Alija Izetbegović in "cleaning" Vozuća, which is located between...
Zenica and Tuzla in BiH in the valley of the river Krivaja and the southern part of Ozren, was given by Islamic fighters - mujahedin, ie foreign mercenaries, who were in the infamous detachment. " El Mujahideen ".
The three light infantry brigades of the Army of the Republika Srpska were attacked by 23,000 soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Corps of the ABiH, the El Mujahedin detachment with the support of NATO rapid reaction forces...
At that time, 30 villages were burned, 1,920 families with more than 7,680 members were expelled.

Zoran Blagojevic, president of the Homeland Association of Zavidovicans in Doboj and war commander of the 4th Ozren Light Infantry Brigade of the Army of Republika Srpska...
...said at press conference in Belgrade that in 1992, 22,300 people lived in Zenica alone, and so many more with sheltered places. "On the stretch from Zenica to Tuzla, about 40,000 Serbs were expelled," Blagojevic said.
Conference for Security and Cooperation / CSCE / for BiH from September 1992, which states that a part of the Serb detainees who were captured in the Penitentiary / Correctional Institution / Penitentiary / Zenica were burned in the blast furnaces of the Zenica Ironworks!
The same report notes that there were about two thousand Serbs in the war camp in the Zenica Penitentiary!
The video under shows footage of Arab Muslim Mujahideen (Odred El Mudzahidin) being brought into Bosnia on UN transports to carry out part of the Islamic war against the non-believers, in this case the Serbs.
