This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
The section Al Qaeda contradictory claims and support of Serbs is biased and full of misinformation. The article quotes a sentence by Bunel completely taking it out of the context to present it as a "contradictory" claim. It's not, the editor who wrote this simply selected the excerpt to make it look like that. What Bunel really said, as anyone can see in the source is:
“Correct. That is why it is better to present them as elements of Al Qaeda. However, do not forget that Al Qaeda has nothing in common with the picture that American propaganda has created. By spreading false information, they have created a new threat, [namely the illusion of a group] which can easily be held responsible, because this threat actually does not exist. Thus, in Kosovo there is no Al Qaeda, rather there are mafia terrorist groups that have local political goals.”
And then, he adds:
“They are supported by the hard-line wing of the Islamic Conference Organization. If there is some appearance of political and financial coordination, it exists there and at the Islamic Development Bank. But, since these groups are also partners of powerful US businessmen, they [ the US] cannot openly accuse them. That is why there is an interest in labeling it [these groups] Al Qaeda.”
What Bunel said is exactly the opposite of what Wikipedia is accusing him of saying. This has to be corrected as soon as possible. And I will, unless someone has good arguments on this, which I find very unlikely.
