Romania Allegedly Hosts Al-Qaeda Training Camps – Paper

According to Italian daily Il Secolo XIX, the Genoa police intercepted a phone conversation between two terrorist suspects, Tunisians Jameleddine Ben Mohamed Ben Moussa and Bechir Kaouana, who mention the existence of "al-Qaeda training camps in Romania", teaching future jihad warriors to build and use explosive devices.

 

European secret services have long suspected the existence of a clandestine Balkan route for Islamic terrorists, and Romania’s accession to the European Union turned the country into a gateway to the west, the paper notes.
