FFS, this German is only trying to sell his book...I couldn't read the whole article because it was badly translated and I ain't in the mood for a bad translation. The first bit deals quite a lot with the break-up of Yugoslavia...I probably agree with the author that Nato( note he does not mention the CIA) supported the Bosnians either directly or indirectly and turned a blind eye when Muslim fighters turned up in the Balkans.
But where's the nexus with what happened on 9/11? The West's actions in places like the Middle East/Balkans/Caucus might have created the environment for nutters like Osama bin Laden to prosper but blaming the CIA for "supporting" international terrorism is the stuff of fairies.

@brix, how are you mate?
i think there should be a connection of the CIA with the mujahideens from afghan. Its was in the U.S interests to make sure the U.s.s.r lose the afghan invasion of the 80s. The cia would have gone to any lengths to make sure they (the russians) go to a quagmire. What an irony! How things change/backfire!

@whizz: I'm fine except for the fact that it's a week away from Christmas and I ain't done any shopping for my loved ones.
Back on topic, the CIA is responsible for a lot of evils in the world but their actions should be viewed in the light of America's geopolitical interests...right now the chances are that they're supporting rebels in Darfur to fight against the Khartoum government who recently has become too friendly with the likes of China. In fact China is selling(giving) weapons to the Sudan government which is used in genocide...all because Sudan has oil and China has invested a lot of money getting the black gold out...that's politics for you.
