Armored vehicles, you say, army deployed? Well, France had a simple solution before ... We all bomb them first, ask questions later. Funny how things change when the problems are at home...

There’s a part of the 9/11 story that rarely gets mentioned: Bosnia. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks, fought alongside the mujahideen in Bosnia in 1992 and financially supported their efforts there. The official 9/11 Commission documented it. Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, two of the hijackers who later crashed into the Pentagon, had also fought together in Bosnia in 1995. The 9/11 Commission described them as experienced mujahideen. Bosnia didn’t cause 9/11. But during the Bosnian War, foreign jihadists found more than just another battlefield in Europe. They found fertile ground to establish networks, recruit, organize, and spread their ideology, while fighting native Serb forces commanded by General Ratko Mladić. His forces didn’t stop them all. Some of the foreign fighters and networks connected to that battlefield survived, and men who passed through that jihadist world would later become directly involved in the deadliest terrorist attack in American history.
