“CIA recruits Serb youth in Bosnia”

[Crvena zvezda]

If the CIA wishes to improve its intelligence gathering capabilities, their own people would benefit from reading newspapers and watching and listening to news from several or more sources, and not faking it like they did with Iraq's "WMDs", where the 'prooff' was in Colin Powell's PowerPoint presentation to the UN and nowhere else, or blaming Iraq for 9/11, as some US politicians still, amazingly, do. Faked intelligence does return to haunt you.

“CIA recruits Serb youth in Bosnia” 11 June 2007
BANJA LUKA -- Luka Karadžić, former Republic of Srpska (RS) President Radovan Karadžić’s brother, says CIA tried to recruit his son Dragan.

“My son was not brought in for informative questioning in Banja Luka on Saturday. He was arrested and spent four hours in a police station where he was being persuaded to agree to work for U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),” Luka Karadžić claimed.

“They were trying to talk him into becoming a CIA spy, promising him money, cars, to go to the U.S. and sign a contract with a basketball team,” he alleged in an interview with Banja Luka weekly Fokus.

According to Karadžić, his 30-year-old son rejected these offers, and was then subdued to additional persuasion and abuse.

“They were telling him his uncle was not a hero, and that the people would come to realize he was a war criminal,” he went on to say.

Republic of Srpska (RS) police detained Dragan Karadžić and two of his friends on Saturday in a pursuit for information regarding Hague fugitive Radovan Karadžić.

Luka Karadžić said he had not seen his brother Radovan since 1998, adding that he would not feel at ease if he surrendered.

“The Republic of Srpska will become void over night if Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić were arrested or if they surrendered. I am aware that our police are looking for them day in and day out."

"The RS police even formed a separate unit charged with recruiting Serb youth to work for world intelligence agencies,” Luka Karadžić concluded.
