KLA Trained By Osama bin Laden
 
(Conspiracy Nation, 9/29/01) -- On May 4th, 1999, the Washington Times 
newspaper reported that the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) had been 
trained by Osama bin Laden's organization, al-Qaeda. [1]
 
The KLA was initially favored by the U.S. as a force combating 
Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. The Kosovo Liberation Army 
(KLA) "financed its war effort through the sale of heroin." [1]
 
KLA members "were trained in secret camps in Afghanistan." [1]
 
The poppies used to manufacture heroin are grown in Afghanistan. From 
there, the product travels to "an extensive organized crime network in 
Albania that smuggles heroin to buyers throughout Western Europe and 
the United States." [1]
 
The KLA, trained by bin Laden, sells the drugs to purchase weapons. 
Over one-billion dollars in drug profits are "laundered annually by 
Kosovo smugglers through as many as 200 private banks." [1]
 
On any map of the world it can be seen how the opium product travels 
from Afghanistan, to the region of the former Yugoslavia, and from 
there to consumers in the United States.
 
Many have wondered why exactly the U.S. was so involved in warfare in 
the former Yugoslavia. They cynically dismissed the fig leaf of 
humanitarian concerns and looked for the *realpolitik*.
 
Recent mainstream news reports have claimed that Osama bin Laden and 
the Taliban, based in Afghanistan, are about to "flood the market" 
with heroin, which would crash prices for the addictive drug. This 
threat of a dope-market crash came subsequently to anti-bin Laden 
hostilities which, in turn, followed the Sept. 11 terror attack on the 
World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
 
Bin Laden and his group have struck back hard at the current 
propaganda onslaught directed against them. A major crash in dope 
prices spells T-R-U-E T-E-R-R-O-R for international bankers and their 
V.I.P. clientele. For the moment they are off-balance, mumbling about 
"a new kind of war."
