 LETTERS TO THE EDITORSunday, August 13, 2006 A front-page article (June 19) reported that the planned poison gas attack on the New York subway system was canceled by al-Qaida's No. 2 man, Ayman al-Zawahiri, 45 days before its execution because "it would not be spectacular enough." A July 27 article, which reports that al-Zawahiri is seeking support for jihad from non-Muslims, clearly demonstrates the terrorist dangers to this country. In addition to non-Muslims, Islamic terrorists are reportedly relying on European Muslims who don't fit the physical profile of Middle Eastern terrorists. Because the Balkans has become a central point of this recruitment effort, we must not ignore al-Zawahiri's connection to the area. The Serbian province of Kosovo, under U.N. administration since 1999, has been the center of Islamic terrorism and ethnic cleansing. Unfortunately, some in the administration are moving headlong toward establishing Kosovo as an independent state run by terrorists and war criminals, while ignoring the fact that Kosovo has become a center for terrorism and crime in the Balkans. Did we learn nothing from 9/11, or are we about to make another colossal mistake in the Balkans? -- STELLA L. JATRAS, Camp Hill |
