Quagmire: Massacre in Kosovo
From the Weekly Standard:ON APRIL 17, as reported in THE WEEKLY STANDARD, two American women and an American man were slain in Kosovo, and eleven people were injured when they came under armed attack by a Palestinian from Jordan. The killer was a member of the same body in which they served: the United Nations police force in the territory.
The male American, who died of his wounds, was Gary Weston, of Vienna, Illinois. The Palestinian, Sergeant Major Ahmed Mustafa Ibrahim Ali, was killed when members of the contingent in which the Americans were traveling returned fire.
In the days since the first reports of the crime were received, more details have emerged, which make what was already a scandal for the United Nations in Kosovo even more alarming. First and most disturbing is that the dead assailant, Ali, is being investigated for connections with Hamas, the Palestinian terror organization. Second is that the same Ali had visited the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, home of the Wahhabi Islamic sect that produced al Qaeda, only a month before he was sent to Kosovo in March.
Matt's Chat
The UN didn't bother to check out the people they sent in to do peacekeeping. And these are the people John "Waffles" Kerry wants to take the lead role in Iraq. I don't think so...The UN is a miserable failure at peacekeeping. Previously on WMD, Mark outlined this pathetic history. (As soon as Blog*Spot gets revived, I'll take a look for it.)
Mark's Remarks
Wow, more inept management from the miserable failure, the UN. And to think, people like Jimmy "Miserable Failure" Carter, Hillary "miserable Failure" Clinton, and John"Waffles" Kerry continue to say this organization is useful. They are allowing terrorists into peacekeeping forces in Kosovo. They allowed a hater of Americans to be put in a position to kill Americans. Inept, insecure, and a miserable failure. If the Hamster King, Michael "Miserable Failure" Moore, had any integrity, he would do one of his no talent documentaries on the crimes of the UN.
