Macedonian police accused of faking terrorism to impress U.S.
Associated Press

Skopje — Macedonian police gunned down seven innocent immigrants, then claimed they were terrorists, in a killing staged to impress the United States, authorities said Friday.

Speaking after a two-year investigation, a police spokeswoman, Mirjana Konteska said that the men were illegal immigrants from Pakistan who were lured into Macedonia by promises that they would be transferred to Western Europe.

Instead they were transported by police to an area near Skopje, surrounded by officers and gunned down with automatic weapons, Ms. Konteska said. “They lost their lives in a staged murder,” she told reporters.

Ms. Konteska said the killings were an attempt to “present themselves as participants in the war against terrorism and demonstrate Macedonia's commitment to the war on terror.”

1. I say the American Media Whores are doing this to get better performance evaluations from their bosses for raises and bonuses.
2. I say American Media Board of Directors are doing this for invitations to the Lincoln Bedroom, Republican tax breaks, IRS audits being cancelled.
3. I saw the Heritage, Hoover, Moral Majority, AEI... are doing the same to be invited onto the Repuke Media Monopolies.
4. I say Cheney, Bush... have faked events to influence their Fascist agenda. (Funny about the California mall terrorist threat the day the Chimps are questioned by the 911 Commission!)
