 Extremists with links to Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda network are present in the Balkans and are infiltrating other European countries, a senior Bulgarian secret service official said on Monday. "We have information that people with connections to structures linked to Al Qaeda have passed through Bulgaria to on their way to neighbouring European countries," secret service chief General Kircho Kirov said. "There are people in the Balkans who have been in Chechnya and Afghanistan. Some have been active in Iraq," he told the Trud daily newspaper. |
