– THE BALKAN ROUTE -LONDON’S JIHADISTS

Published June 6, 2015

In late 05/2015 it was revealed that a British I.S.I.S fighter, Fatlum Shalaku, 20, a body builder and former student who used the name Abu Musa al-Britani, had been one of six suicide bombers who blew himself up during the offensive to seize the Iraqi oil city of Ramadi, two weeks ago..

His older brother Flamur Shalaku, 26, is also said to have been killed fighting on the frontline. Their family came originally from Kosovo.

Officials in Belgrade point to routes passing through Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia and Bosnia and those from Turkey, Greece, Albania, Kosovo and Serbia as being so-called ‘gateways’ used by the jihadists.

Bosnia last year passed a law that bans citizens from fighting in foreign countries, which enabled police and intelligence agencies over the past two months to arrest more than a dozen alleged radical Islamists believed to have fought abroad, or to be recruiting others.

Flamur Shalaku is the fifth former pupil from the London’s Holland Park School to have died in jihad, according to The Sunday Times, following the death of his brother and of Mohamed Nasser, 21, who reportedly died during fighting last year (2014). Mohamed el-Araj, 23, from Ladbroke Grove, reportedly died in 2013, and Nassim Terrri, 25, was killed on a mountainside in March 2012.

In 2014 two more former Holland Park School pupils were arrested under terror laws and accused of funding jihadi fighters in Syria. Nawal Msaad (L), 27, who had been caught trying to smuggle €20,000 (£15,800) in her underwear on a flight to Turkey, was cleared of the charge, but Amal El-Wahabi (R), who had allegedly asked Msaad to be her “trusted courier for the money,” was convicted at the Old Bailey.
