US Embassy Surrounded

Islamic circles/ Extraordinary measures in Tirana, police and SHIK arrive Fear of “Jihad”, Ambassador Lino under special surveillance Page 3 Harboring terrorists BY BLENDI FEVZIU Albania has once again moved to the forefront of global commentary and forecasts about what has happened in recent years, in some way stagnating. This time, the eyes are also turning at once toward the capital, and toward the American embassy in Washington. 150 on Sunday and on arrival, 1,000 troops supported by an infrastructure that was first established and then escalated, have been waiting for the Islamist integrist organizations that have their base in Tirana, the capital. The majority are mercenaries and militants who arrived from the Middle East, accompanied through various parts of the Balkans and stationed across territories and borders. “Abu Hass,” the pseudonym, which indicates that this is likely the name of the commander of the organization “Jihad,” accused of direct ties to Tirana, has been preparing the Islamist integrist organizations operating in Albania and so far have passed through, in a transaction and sanction issued from the capital. According to a report by the Korean agency and the Italian agency Ansa, which in the language of the doyen and that of the Italian agency, concerning suspicion of a spokesman for the US embassy in Tirana, was found to have happened on Tuesday afternoon through the usual network of compromises. On Saturday evening, the operations resulted in 150 dispatched and protected within an infrastructure that had earlier served as the main gateway. This has led in Tirana to almost all Western embassies strengthening their guards, but especially the American embassy, where at least an increase in police forces, guards, and other special forces has been seen. The latter came out at its entrances and exits on Saturday evening, while yesterday morning they were seen with the naked eye to have concentrated in several key positions within a radius of a few hundred meters from the building. In this spectacle, many of the foreign journalists attached to this office of the CIA and its government think of asking whether there is really any direct link between Tirana and the suspected movement. The US and Albanian intelligence services have also increased the information, going in and out of other nests, before finding the first signs of the network.
