re: #11 Archangelus

re: #9 Destro

The difference is that both these two particular groups are not only the most capable and most experienced of them all in being able to pull of these kind of horrors (and may very well be the only ones among them that really can in this age), they have been identified as trying to pull off this kind of stuff just recently, and were trying to do it.
And Destro, from a professional perspective, i can tell you that you wouldn’t need a native to carry this kind of thing off. And even if you did, both groups have a local person or two to help, often without them knowing what’s the real thing behind the help they give.

I apologize, I was looking at your link for the two suspected groups you named and not in your comment #4.

Iranians were involved in the arms smuggling to Kosovo Albanians and Bosnian Muslims.

America used Islamists to arm the Bosnian Muslims
The Srebrenica report reveals the Pentagon’s role in a dirty war

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 mojahedin 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.
