On Wednesday, March 15, 2006 , the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague announced a landmark war crimes conviction. The ICTY found the Chief of Staff of the Bosnian Muslim Army and the Bosnian Muslim commander of the 7 th Muslim Brigade of Zenica guilty of committing war crimes during the Bosnian civil war. Remarkably, this verdict was censored and suppressed in the US and Western media. Neither CNN nor the BBC took note of this landmark decision. Indeed, the decision was censored by the US media. In fact, they covered it up and suppressed it. The propaganda or infowar technique consists of emphasis. It was not totally and completely censored. But it was downgraded as a news story to the point where it amounted to outright censorship. Judge Jean-Claude Antonetti of France announced the verdict in the ICTY war crimes trial of Enver Hadzihasanovic and Amir Kubura as follows.

The ICTY Trial Chamber, consisting of Presiding Judge Vonimbolana Rasoazanany, Judge Jean-Claude Antonetti, who had replaced Judge Claude Jorda of France, and Judge Bert Swart, convicted Enver Hadzihasanovic, the Chief of Staff of the Bosnian Muslim Army, and Amir Kubura, the commander of the 7 th Muslim Brigade of Zenica which included the El Mujahedeen Unit, both high level commanders in the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ABiH), of committing war crimes against Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat civilians. Enver Hadzihasanovic was sentenced by the ICTY Trial Chamber to five years imprisonment. Amir Kubura was sentenced to two and a half years.

Trial Chamber II of the ICTY Tribunal convicted Hadzihasanovic and Kubura for "failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish several crimes that forces under their command committed in central Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993 and the beginning of 1994."

This was the first case to address the issue of mujahedeen or "holy warriors", armed foreign Muslim volunteers or combatants, who had been recruited by Al-Qaeda to fight a jihad or Islamic holy war in Bosnia. The US had made possible their infiltration of Bosnia .

The ICTY Trial Chamber found that Enver Hadzihasanovic "exercised effective control over a detachment of such forces", explicitly conceding and acknowledging their presence in Bosnia . The Court determined that the mujahedeen volunteers "severely beat and psychologically abused" five Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat Christian civilians in Bosnian Muslim-occupied Travnik. The Court further found that mujahedeen troops murdered Bosnian Serb civilian Dragan Popovic in October, 1993 in the Orasac camp. Popovic was beheaded in a ritual Islamic beheading. He was beheaded merely because he was a Serb and because he was a Christian. Popovic was a civilian non-combatant. The ICTY Trial Chamber held that Enver Hadzihasanovic was guilty of failing to prevent the murders of Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat civilians by mujahedeen forces under his command and control.

The ICTY Court convicted Enver Hadzihasanovic for "failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to punish" troops under his command who murdered Bosnian Croat POW Mladen Havranek on August 5, 1993 . The Court found Enver Hadzihasanovic guilty of "failing to prevent or punish" his troops who "cruelly" treated Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat civilians and POWs in 1993 in the five Bosnian Muslim-run detention camps in central Bosnia.

Amir Kubura was convicted of "failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to punish members" of the Bosnian Muslim Army under his command who looted, pillaged, and plundered private or public property when Bosnian Muslim forces occupied the central Bosnian villages of Brajkovici, Ovnak, Grahovcici, and Susanj in June, 1993 during intense fighting between Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat forces. The Court convicted Kubura of "failing to prevent or punish members of his forces" when they looted, destroyed, pillaged, ransacked, and plundered private or public property in Vares in November, 1993.

The Trial Chamber heard evidence from 172 witnesses, admitted 33 witness statements in writing, as well as three stipulations during the trial of Enver Hadzihasanovic and Amir Kubura, which began on 2 December 2003 and closed on 15 July 2005 . A total of 2949 exhibits were tendered into evidence.

The war crimes trials against Hadzihasanovic and Kubura began on December 2, 2003 and concluded on July 15, 2005 . Top Bosnian Muslim military commander Mehmed Alagic was also indicted for war crimes against Bosnian Serb civilians, but he died before a verdict could be reached in his case. The Trial Chamber received 2,949 exhibits as evidence. A total of 172 witnesses were called to testify.

The ICTY case against Enver Hadzihasanovic and Amir Kubura is a landmark case because it is an important criminal conviction against the top military leaders of the Bosnian Muslim Army. The case proves that war crimes were committed against Bosnian Serb civilians by Bosnian Muslim military or "government" forces during the civil war. The criminal convictions against the commanders of the Bosnian Muslim armed forces are essential in showing that all sides committed war crimes during the civil war. The case proves conclusively that Bosnian Muslim forces were not "victims", but well-armed and well-supplied military forces that committed horrendous war crimes and crimes against humanity in premeditated and ritual murders of Bosnian Serb civilians.

Media Censorship and Cover-up

The Hadzihasanovic and Kubura convictions were crucial in setting the record straight on the Bosnian civil war. The case proved that Bosnian Muslim forces were guilty of war crimes against Bosnian Serb civilians. This case completely altered the US-manufactured propaganda and brainwashing image of the Bosnian Muslims as "victims". The case showed that Bosnian Muslims had committed brutal war crimes against Bosnian Serb Christians, including an Islamic ritual beheading.

Not surprisingly, the Hadzihasanovic and Kubura war crimes convictions were totally and completely censored, suppressed, and covered-up in the US and Western media. CNN did not even report on the landmark war crimes convictions. The BBC did not report of the case. The US mainstream media censored the news of the convictions.

The case was carried in the Indianapolis Star, the San Jose Mercury, and the Australian. The New York Times grudgingly and reluctantly reported on the convictions as "Top Muslims Guilty of Abuses in Bosnia " on March 16, quoting Reuters, although the Times has reporters at The Hague . For the New York Times, the Islamic ritual beheading and horrendous murder of Bosnian Serb civilian Dragan Popovic was merely an "abuse". The murder of Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat Christian POWs was merely an "abuse". Of course, Hadzihasanovic and Kubura were not convicted of committing "abuses", but war crimes against Bosnian Serb civilians. But in the warped and perverted and mindless news reporting, more accurately brainwashing, of the New York Times, such horrendous human rights violations and crimes against humanity are merely "abuses". Bosnian Serbs were heinously tortured and murdered and decapitated. If these are not war crimes, what are? The New York Sun carried the announcement of the convictions under the title "Two Bosnian Muslim 'Mujahedeen' Sentenced for War Crimes." The technique of the Sun was to spin the convictions as insignificant and trivial and to present them as ironic and in a flippant manner. In fact, Hadzihasanovic was the top Bosnian Muslim military commander. The Sun sought to render the landmark convictions as nonsense. The Sun sought to obfuscate the fact that the US created the mujahedeen or "Freedom Fighters" in the late 1970s and 1980s and that the mujahedeen created Al-Qaeda. The objective was to render the convictions irrelevant and meaningless. The Indianapolis Star reported the convictions accurately in its headline "2 Bosnian Muslims Guilty of War Crimes". The San Jose Mercury reported that "Two Bosnian Muslim commanders convicted". The International Herald Tribune reported that "2 Bosnian Muslims Found Guilty" quoting an Associated Press dispatch. All the media reported the convictions in a matter-of-fact style and without much comment on the implications of this landmark war crimes case.

The technique the mainstream US and Western media utilized in the censorship and suppression of this case is known as emphasis. The US media did not censor the case completely, but by the emphasis it applied, it amounted to outright censorship. The story of the convictions was allowed to trickle to small newspapers and media outlets, effectively burying the story. This is a subtle propaganda tool. US propaganda is much more sophisticated than Soviet/Communist/Nazi propaganda and brainwashing. US brainwashing and media censorship is more effective because the masses assume they are being told the truth in a "democracy" and in "the free world". This is the big scam. This is how they work their con game. Communist and Nazi propaganda was less harmful because everyone knew the news was being manipulated. But few people realize that the same techniques are used in the US and in the West, only more effectively and in a more subtle fashion.

Why is the conviction being censored and suppressed? It is hard to spin this story. It is very damaging to the US propaganda "narrative" of the Bosnian conflict because it shows conclusively: 1) Bosnian Muslim "Government" military forces under Alija Izetbegovic committed horrendous war crimes against Bosnian Serb civilians; 2) Bosnian Muslim army forces, proxies and clients of the US government, were found guilty in a court of law of committing war crimes; Hadzihasanovic got 5 years, Kubura got 2 ? years; 3) Bosnian Muslim government forces were engaged in an Islamic Jihad or "holy war" in Bosnia was now proven as a fact, something that is very hard to accept in the US; 4) the mujaheden who committed the war crimes and murders were allowed into Bosnia and expedited by the US government who created the mujahedeen in the first place; and, 5) there was a connection to Al-Qaeda and Ossama bin Laden that was there, but which the Court failed to address.

This last point forced the US and the globalist, corporate media to censor and to suppress the story. It showed that the US government and media were allied with Ossama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda in the 1990s against the Bosnian Serbs. This is something that is very difficult to accept or acknowledge in the US so they censor the story. The convictions are explicit admissions that there was a jihad or Islamic holy war being conducted against Bosnian Serb Christian civilians. The case acknowledged the presence of mujahedeen troops in Bosnia . The case acknowledged that they were part of the Bosnian Muslim Government Army and that they committed war crimes against Bosnian Serb civilians. The case also opened the door for making the connection with Ossama bin Laden and with Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda is like a big pink elephant in the room. The ICTY Court ignored the Al-Qaeda connection to Bosnia , but it begged the question: What was the role of Al-Qaeda in the Bosnian civil war? What role did Ossama bin Laden play in the Bosnian conflict? Renate Flottau, a reporter for the German magazine Der Spiegel reported that she saw and spoke to Ossama bin Laden in Sarajevo when he came to visit Izetbegovic. Why is this information censored in the US and the West? Furthermore, how much assistance did the US government and the US media give to Al-Qaeda and bin Laden in their war against the Bosnian Serbs?

It is very hard to spin this stuff away. This is why the US media totally censored this story. The case would show bad faith and a guilty conscience on the part of the US . It would show that the US empowered Al-Qaeda and Ossama bin Laden during the Bosnian conflict. It would expose the obvious fact that the US created the mujahedeen and created, armed, trained, and supplied Ossama bin Laden. The case would show the hollowness and emptiness of the phony and fake "war on terror". This is why the case was censored. Such censorship and media manipulation is unethical and even immoral, especially in a "democracy". Why the need for censorship?

The Associated Press was forced to report that "two Bosnian Muslim army commanders were convicted of war crimes Wednesday for failing to rein in foreign Muslim volunteers who murdered and tortured Bosnian Croats and Serbs in a 1990s 'holy war.'" The AP reporter carefully avoided the term Jihad and used ironic quotation marks to downplay the facts. The AP reported the facts: "The U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague sentenced former Bosnian army chief of staff Enver Hadzihasanovic, 55, to five years in prison and his deputy, Amir Kubura, 42, to 21/2 years. It was the first time the Yugoslav tribunal dealt with the "mujahedeen," or holy warriors, who came mainly from North Africa and the Middle East to fight with Muslims in the 1992-95 Bosnian war."

Reuters reported: "The two men were charged with commanding army units that killed and abused Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat civilians during Muslim attacks on Croat forces in central Bosnia between January 1993 and January 1994."

Reuters reported that "the foreigners recruited many Bosnian Muslims who imitated their dress and fighting tactics." The Afghan-Arab Mujahedeen contingent consisted of many "local" Bosnian Muslims. Reuters did not draw the obvious conclusion. The Mujahedeen was made up of not only Afghan-Arab Mujahedeen recruited by Ossama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, but was made up of Bosnian Muslims who were engaged an Islamic Jihad or holy war in Bosnia.

Reuters noted that: "Hadzihasanovic was convicted of failing to punish army soldiers who beat prisoners at the Zenica music school, where more than 100 civilians were held. The judgment said prisoners were smashed with wooden shovel handles as they ran a gauntlet of soldiers..One man was ordered to beat his mentally handicapped son, then was beaten himself when he refused, the judgment said..Kubura was convicted for failing to act against soldiers who plundered and rampaged through Bosnian Croat villages in the summer of 1993."

The glaring omission was the ritual beheading of Bosnian Serb Dragan Popovic and the murders and tortures of Bosnian Serb and Croat civilians and POWs. There are videos showing the Mujahedeen executing Bosnian Serb POWs when the unit was integrated officially into the Bosnian Muslim Army which the Court has chosen to ignore. The Sky News video shows the execution of two Bosnian Serb POWs by Mujahedeen troops in the Bosnian Muslim Army.

This was textbook case of how censorship operates in the US and the West. This case shows the modus operandi. For this reason alone, this case is significant.

The Prosecutor v. Enver Hadzihasanovic and Amir Kubura

The ICTY Trial Chamber II, section B, delivered the verdict in the so-called Bosnian Muslim Mujahedeen Case, The Prosecutor v. Enver Hadzihasanovic and Amir Kubura on Wednesday, March 15, 2006 . Judge Jean-Claude Antonetti read the guilty verdicts. The Court also analyzed the role of the Mujahedeen, or "foreign fighters", in the Bosnian civil war.

Hadzihasanovic and Kubura, as commanders of the 3rd Corps and the 7th Brigade, were charged with war crimes because Bosnian Serb and Croat civilians were "subjected to wilful killings and serious injury" by Mujahedeen troops under their command and control.

Bosnian Serb and Croat civilians were "unlawfully imprisoned and otherwise detained in facilities" under the control of Hadzihasanovic and Kubura.

They were also charged with responsibility for the plunder and destruction of Bosnian Serb and Croat property with "no military justification." The Court found that "Croat buildings, sites and institutions dedicated to religion were allegedly destroyed or otherwise damaged or violated" by Mujahedeen forces under the command of Hadzihasanovic and Kubura.

They "knew or had reason to know that their subordinate(s) were about to commit such acts or had done so, and that they failed to take the necessary and reasonable measures to prevent such acts or to punish the perpetrators thereof."

Madzihasanovic and Kubura were prosecuted for criminally responsibility for "murder and cruel treatment, violations of the laws or customs of war punishable under Articles 3 and 7(3) of the Statute of the Tribunal and recognised by Article 3(1)(a) of the Geneva Conventions; wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, not justified by military necessity, a violation of the laws or customs of war punishable under Articles 3(b) and 7(3) of the Statute of the Tribunal; plunder of public or private property, a violation of the laws or customs of war punishable under Articles 3(e) and 7(3) of the Statute of the Tribunal; and destruction of or wilful damage to institutions dedicated to religion, a violation of the laws or customs of war punishable under Articles 3(d) and 7(3) of the Statute of the Tribunal."

On November 1, 1993 , Alija Izetbegovic promoted Enver Hadzihasanovic to Chief and Deputy Commander of the Bosnian Muslim Supreme Command Staff. In April, 1992, Hadzihasanovic had left the Yugoslav National Army (JNA) and joined the Bosnian Muslim Territorial Defense ("TO") of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina . Sefer Halilovic, the Chief of the Bosnian Muslim Supreme Command Staff, appointed Enver Hadzihasanovic Chief of Staff of the Bosnian Muslim 1st Corps on September 1, 1992 . Halilovic appointed Hadzihasanovic commander of the 3rd Corps in the Zenica region in November, 1992.

Amir Kubura was the commander of the 7 th Muslim Brigade, the Mujahedeen Brigade that became infamous during the civil war. Kubura too was a former member of the Yugoslav National Army. He left in 1992 to join the Bosnian Muslim military forces, which were then created. Kubura was made Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations and Instruction Matters of the Bosnian Muslim 3rd Corps 7th Muslim Mountain Brigade on December 11, 1992 . Sefer Halilovic appointed Kubura Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander of the 7th Muslim Brigade on March 12, 1993 . Kubura was made the commander of the 7 th Muslim brigade on August 6, 1993 by Rasim Delic, the Commander of the Bosnian Muslim Supreme Command Staff. Delic is himself indicted for war crimes by the ICTY related to the Mujahedeen volunteers in Bosnia . On March 16, 1994 , Kubura was made Commander of the Bosnian Muslim 1st Corps 1st Muslim Mountain Brigade.

They were charged under command responsibility for the war crimes committed by the Mujahedeen under their command and control. The Court held that "superiors are qualified to exercise control over the troops they command and the weapons they use." Under Article 7 (3) of the Statute of the Tribunal, the Court held that a "superior may be held criminally responsible only when three conditions are met. Firstly, he must exercise effective control over the alleged perpetrators of the illegal acts at the time they were committed. Secondly, a superior must have known or had reason to know that his subordinates were about to commit such acts or had done so. Thirdly, the superior must have failed to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish the crimes. Furthermore, the Chamber recalls that a superior incurs command responsibility on the basis of his material capacity to prevent or punish the illegal acts, and not on the sole basis of his official position as a superior."

The Mujahedeen in Bosnia

The Mujahedeen troops were subordinated to the Bosnian Muslim 3rd Corps and the 7th Brigade. In other words, they were made a part of the Bosnian Muslim Army.

The "foreign Mujahedin" arrived in central Bosnia in the second half of 1992 with the aim of helping their "Muslim brothers"

The Court noted that the "foreign" Mujahedeen was able to create a "domestic" or "local" Mujahedeen, proving that Bosnian Muslims themselves were engaged in a Jihad in Bosnia : "The foreign Mujahedin actively recruited young local men, offering them military training, uniforms, and weapons. As a result, local people joined the foreign Mujahedin and in the process became local Mujahedin. They imitated the foreigners in both the way they dressed and behaved, to such an extent that it was sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two groups. For that reason, in the Judgement, the Trial Chamber shall use the term "Mujahedin" to designate foreigners from Arab countries, but also local Muslims who joined the Mujahedin units."

The first Mujahedeen training camp was established in Poljanice by the village of Mehurici in the Travnik district. The Mujahedeen at this camp were from Arab nations. The important fact the Court established was that Bosnian Muslims, "locals", or domestic Mujahedeen, were also part of the camp. The "local" Bosnian Muslims at the camp were former members of the Muslim Forces of Travnik and troops who were by law members of units of the 3rd Corps, the 7th Muslim Brigade and the 306th Brigade.

The Mujahedeen also set up training camps in Zenica and Travnik in the Bila region of central Bosnia . In 1993, the Mujahedeen create a camp in Orasac.

An independent Mujahedeen unit or detachment, known as "El Mujahed", was set up on August 13, 1993 when it became a part of the Bosnian Muslim Army under the command of Alija Izetbegovic. This is when the Mujahedeen troops were "officially" a part of the Bosnian Muslim Army subordinated to the command of the 3rd Corps or 7 th Muslim Brigade. There is a glaring question: Why wasn't Alija Izetbegovic indicted for war crimes? The El Mujahedeen unit operated with his express knowledge and endorsement. Izetbegovic had command responsibility for the El Mujahedeen unit and for the foreseeable war crimes that it committed against Bosnian Serbs and Croats.

The Court held that "local" Mujahedeen, Bosnian Muslims, were legally or de jure members of the 3rd Corps. The Court noted that Bosnian Muslims, "local" or "domestic" Mujahedeen, known as "white" Al-Qaeda, joined the Mujahedeen troops at Poljanice. Bosnian Muslim Ramo Durmis was a member of the Mujahedeen forces. Bosnian Muslim troops from the 7 th Muslim Brigade and 306 th Brigade joined the Mujahedeen units.

The Court found that the Bosnian Muslim government and military command "maintained a close relationship" with the foreign Mujahadeen ever since their arrival in Bosnia in 1992. They engaged in "joint combat operations" against Bosnian Serb and Croat forces

The Court found that Hadzihasanovic "exercised effective control" over the El Mujahed unit.

On 26 January 26, 1993, troops in the 7 th Muslim Brigade executed Bosnian Serb civilian Vojislav Stanisic and six Bosnian Croat POWs, Zvonko Rajic, Niko Kegelj, Stipo Kegelj, Vinko Kegelj, Pero Ljubicic, Augustin Rados, in Dusina.

The Mujahedeen murdered Bosnian Croats Franjo Pavlovic, Tihomir Pavlovic, Vlado Pavlovic and Anto Petrovic.

On April 25, 1993 , the bodies of four Bosnian Croat men were found mutilated and covered in blood. Their hands had been tied behind their backs. The four Roman Catholics "had their throats slit open and their blood had been collected in a pan." The Court held that they were "killed by the foreign and local Mujahedins from the camp in Poljanice."

The Court found that on June 8, 1993 , twenty-three Bosnian Croat men and one woman were executed in Bikoci by foreign and local Mujahedeen from the Poljanice camp.

This is the part of the decision that was censored and suppressed and covered up in the US and Western media. There is where we see a Communistic/Nazi style of suppression in the United States and in the West. Indeed, US and Western media censorship exceeds Communist and Nazi abuses. The Court found that it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt that local and foreign Mujahedeen in the El Mujahed Unit murdered Bosnian Serb civilian Dragan Popovic by beheading him in a ritual Islamic beheading. This is how the Court described the murder of the Bosnian Serb civilian Popovic:

"The Trial Chamber considers furthermore that it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that, on 21 October 1993 , Dragan Popovic, who was not actively involved in the hostilities, was executed by members of this detachment. The Trial Chamber notes that this murder was particularly heinous. Dragan Popovic was taken with three other prisoners to a meadow where a pit had been dug. About 50 to 100 soldiers from the El Mujahed detachment stood around the pit shouting. Dragan Popovic was pushed to the edge of the pit and fell on his side after being tripped. One soldier then tried unsuccessfully to behead him with a hatchet, so another soldier had to finish the execution. The other prisoners were then forced to kiss the head of the deceased while the soldiers shouted in ritual celebration."

On October 20, 1993 , five Bosnian Serb and Croat civilians were abducted and taken hostage by the Mujahedeen, by then fully integrated in the Bosnian Muslim Army

The Court found that the Mujahedeen had destroyed and desecrated Roman Catholic Churches:

"Evidence presented to the Trial Chamber indicates that the Monastery of Guca Gora and the Church of St. John the Baptist in Travnik were damaged in June 1993. Members of the 306th Brigade Military Police and international observers noted that in the Monastery of Guca Gora - which was both a sacred and historical site for the Croatian Catholic community - steles and the organ were destroyed, and the frescoes and walls were partially covered with inscriptions in Arabic. Similar destruction and damage was recorded at the church in Travnik: paintings, organs and windows were destroyed or vandalised and the statues of saints were decapitated. The Trial Chamber is in no doubt that this damage amounts to acts of profanation. According to the case file, however, the perpetrators of these acts were the Mujahedin."

There is video footage aired by Sky News that showed Bosnian Muslim "Mujahedeen" destroying and desecrating a Serbian Orthodox Church in northern Bosnia .

The Court found Hadzihasanovic guilty on Count 3, of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to punish the murder of Mladen Havranek at the Slavonija Furniture Salon in Bugojno on August 5, 1993;

The Court found Hadzihasanovic guilty on Count 3, of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent the murder of Dragan Popovic by the Muslim ritual beheading at the Orasac camp on October 21, 1993 .

He was found guilty on Count 4, of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish cruel treatment at the Zenica music school from around January 26, 1993 to October 31, 1993, and guilty of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent cruel treatment at the Orasac Mujahedeen camp from October 15 to 31 October 31,1993;

He was found guilty on Count 4, of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish cruel treatment at the Lycee Gimnazija in Bugojno, from July 18, 1993 until October 13, 1993; and guilty of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish cruel treatment at the Slavonija Furniture Salon in Bugojno from July 24, 1993 until August 18, 1993;

He was found guilty on Count 4, of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish cruel treatment at the Iskra FC Stadium in Bugojno from July 30, 1993 to October 31, 1993, and guilty of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish cruel treatment at the Vojin Paleksic Elementary School from July 31, 1993 until September, 1993.

Hadzihasanovic was sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment.

Kubura was found guilty on Count 6, of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to punish plundering in the villages of Ovnak, Susanj, Brajkovici, and Grahovcici in June, 1993, and guilty on Count 6, of failing to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish the plundering in the village of Vares in November, 1993.

Kubura was sentenced to 2 ? years of imprisonment.

Bosnian Muslim War Crimes: World War II

Bosnian Muslim war crimes did not begin with the 1992-1995 Bosnian civil war. Bosnian Muslims leaders had requested that Adolf Hitler make them a part of the Nazi New order in Europe . Pursuant to this, the Bosnian Muslims formed two Nazi SS Divisions. Bosnian Muslims played a role in the Holocaust and the genocide committed against Serbs during World War II in the NDH, the Croat Nazi puppet state. The "architect of the Holocaust", Heinrich Himmler was filmed and photographed with the Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS troops. Himmler was committed to forming a Bosnian Muslim statelet under Nazi control.

The Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal declared that the SS was a criminal organization and found that all members of the Waffen SS were guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Bosnian Muslims had two Nazi SS Waffen SS Divisions during World War II, the 13 th Waffen SS Division "Handzar/Handschar and the 23 rd Waffen SS Division "Kama". There were approximately 20,000 Bosnian Muslim Nazi SS troops in these two SS Divisions.

This is what the Nuremberg Tribunal held regarding the Waffen SS:

"The SS was utilized for purposes which were criminal under the Charter involving the persecution and extermination of the Jews, brutalities and killings in concentration camps, excesses in the administration of the occupied territories, the administration of the slave labor program and the mistreatment and murder of prisoners of war.....In dealing with the SS the Tribunal includes all persons who had been officially accepted as members of the SS including the members of the Allgemeine SS, members of the Waffen SS, members of the SS Totenkopf Verbaende, and the members of any of the different police forces who were members of the SS.

The Tribunal declares to be criminal within the meaning of the Charter the group composed of those persons who had been officially accepted as members of the SS as enumerated in the preceding paragraph who became or remained members of the organization with knowledge that it was being used for the commission of acts declared criminal by Article 6 of the Charter, or who were personally implicated as members of the organization in the commission of such crimes, excluding, however, those who were drafted into membership by the State in such a way as to give them no choice in the matter, and who had committed no such crimes. The basis of this finding is the participation of the organization in War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity connected with the war; this group declared criminal cannot include, therefore, persons who had ceased to belong to the organizations enumerated in the proceeding paragraph prior to 1 September 1939 ."

These Bosnian Muslim war crimes and crimes against humanity during World War II are censored, covered-up, and suppressed. Bosnian Muslim war crimes and crimes against humanity did not begin with the El Mujahedeen Unit of the Bosnian Muslim Army. The precursors go back to the Bosnian Muslim Handzar and Kama Nazi SS Divisions.

Al-Qaeda and the Mujahedeen in Bosnia

Ossama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda recruited Shehada or "martyrs" for the jihad or Islamic holy war in Bosnia . These martyrs relied on the quote from The Koran to justify the Bosnian jihad: "Think not of those Who are slain in Allah's way As dead.

Nay, they live, Finding their sustenance

From their Lord (Q.3-169)"

The leader of Al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia , Younis Mohammed Ibrahim Al-Hayari, born in Morocco , was a veteran of the mujahedeen volunteers in the Bosnian civil war. His wife was a Bosnian Muslim. He had a Bosnian Muslim passport and was given Bosnian citizenship by the Izetbegovic regime. He was killed on July 3, 2005 in a battle with Saudi security forces in Riyadh . He was the most wanted Al-Qaeda leader in the Arabian Peninsula . He topped the Saudi list of the 36 most wanted Al-Qaeda suspects.

There were many mujahedeen martyrs in Bosnia . Many Muslims from Saudi Arabia , Afghanistan , Pakistan , and North Africa came to Bosnia to participate in the jihad or "holy war".

Abul-Mundhir Al-Yemeni was from Yemen who was killed during the mujahedeen Operation Miracle in Bosnia July 21, 1995 . He was killed by a shot to the head.

Abul-Haarith Al-Bahraini, 23, a mujahedeen from Bahrain was killed during a mujahedeen offensive operation against Bosnian Serb forces near Visoko on December 29, 1992 . He is described as follows in his obituary: "How many are the people that seek fame and wealth today, and what of someone who has left all that in pursuit of Allah's Pleasure. Abul-Haarith was a famous football player in Bahrain . A lot of the youth today yearn to attain this level of fame. He left his football career behind him and went to Afghanistan to take part in the Jihad, seeking to die in the Path of Allah..He then went to participate in the Jihad in Bosnia . He had devoted his heart and his soul to the worship of Allah and he set a good example with his manners and manhood. He was always seen reading the Qur'an, serving his brothers or guarding the front lines..A few days before the operation, Abul-Harith was seen to take great care of himself and he wore his best clothes as if he knew he had an appointment with the beautiful Women of Paradise. Before the Second Operation of Visoko against the Serbs, he put Kohl in his eyes and asked his brothers to do the same.When the battle had reached its most intense stage and the souls of the martyrs had been raised, Abul-Haarith found Abu Maryam spread on the ground, his soul having been raised. He kissed his forehead and said, "Oh Allah! Join us with him". He advanced towards the enemy from an area providing little cover and whilst he was crawling on the ground, Allah heard his prayer and he was hit by a sniper bullet thereby surrendering his soul to his Lord."

The Mujahedeen could not bury him due to the severity of the fighting and the widespread presence of snow so they put his body in the trunk of a tree.

Abu Sahar Al-Hailee, from the Arabian Peninsula, was killed by Bosnian Croat troops at a roadblock in Travnik in 1993 in northern Bosnia .  His obituary read as follows:"A very brave and patient brother, he was once travelling through Travnik, North Bosnia , with a group of Mujahideen. They were stopped by Croatian Forces at a roadblock. Abu Sahar told his brothers to fight and not to give up. His brothers suggested that they should give up now as maybe they would be released later. While they were being held, the Croats saw that the Kalashnikov of Abu Sahar was on and ready to fire. They shot him five times while he was shouting "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" We ask ALLAH (SWT) to accept him from amongst the Shuhadaa."

Abu Muslim Al-Imaraati was a mujahedeen from the United Arab Emirates who was the Field Commander of the Foreign Mujahedeen Forces in Bosnia . He was killed during the mujahedeen Operation Miracle on July 21,1995 in northern Bosnia .  Jis obituary was as follows: "'He did not see his son in this world, but insha-Allah, Allah will reunite him with his family in Paradise ...' ,,,Abu Muslim was a very soft and gentle brother. But one summer, suddenly he changed. He became extremely fierce in his fighting and his courage. He became extremely brave and began going on reconnaissance missions by himself. He would bring back plastic bags full of mines that he had searched for and pulled out. When Abu Muslim heard about the Jihad in Bosnia his wife had just become pregnant. However, he chose to respond to the plight of the Bosnian Muslims and left for the Jihad in the obedience of Allah, taking with him only fond memories of his family and the hope to return when he could. .'Your wealth and your children are only a trial whereas Allah with him is a great reward,' [Quran 64:15]."

Abu Thabit Al Muhajir was a mujahedeen from Egypt . He was a military commander and Ameer of the front line in Bosnia . He was killed during Operation Badr in Bosnia on September 10, 1995 .  His obituary was as follows: "Abu Thabit was very experienced soldier in the Egyptian army. He spent six years in Afghanistan , training the brothers and fighting. He was a very experienced fighter. He came to Bosnia early in the war in 1992 and he was made the Ameer of the Front-Line, This brother was so tough and so brave that when he fought, he would not even duck from the bullets, that is how fearless he was. Even though he was the commander, he had such a strong character that everyone loved him as if he was their favourite friend. He used to make everybody feel as if he was their favourite friend and his character was such that when one looked at him, one would think that one is looking at a Companion of the Prophet (SAWS). In the first few minutes of Operation Badr, he was shot twice but he did not make a single noise in pain. He carried on fighting, until he was shot by a third bullet in his heart. Without making any expressions of pain, he turned around to the brothers behind him, smiled, and said: 'My brothers, I have been hit." then he closed his eyes, to be followed by his soul."

The role of the Mujahedeen in Bosnia is a taboo subject in the US and the West. It is censored and suppressed. The topic of the Mujahedeen is covered-up in the US and the West. The Mujahedeen raise troubling issues. Why was the US and the West supporting these jihadist cutthroats? Why was the US supporting Muslims in their "holy war" to exterminate Christianity in Bosnia ? What is the connection between Ossama bin Laden and the Mujahedeen forces in Bosnia ? Did Ossama bin Laden recruit the Bosnian Mujahedeen? Why was bin Laden in Sarajevo ? Did the US empower and globalize Al-Qaeda and bin Laden in Bosnia ?

Conclusion: Censorship and Suppression

The Hadzihasanovic and Kubura war crimes trials and convictions proved that war crimes were committed by all three sides during the 1992-1995 civil war in Bosnia . This is why it is censored and suppressed in the US and the West. This case alters our perceptions of the Bosnian conflict. The picture or image of the Bosnian conflict manufactured by US infowar techniques and media propaganda and brainwashing is overturned by this important and landmark case. This is the reason it was so meticulously censored and suppressed in the US and the West.
