ESTABLISHING BRDJANOVIC
INTERVIEW WITH REFIK BRDJANOVIC
In spite of the evidence, America denied re-supplying the BiH Army in breach of
the UN arms embargo.
Correspondent decided to approach senior Muslim officers and ask them about the
drops.
General Hasan Sadic was commander of 2nd Corps in the Tuzla region until late in
1994. He admitted he had planned the drop zone.
SHEENA: "So were the logistics men based right around the perimeter, or were
they based in different parts?"
SADIC: "We had the task of preventing civilians from coming to this location in
order to protect them from injury. Secondly, we had to attend these drops
regularly at certain locations... and after collecting the cargo, take it to the
warehouse."
Sadic could tell us no more about the drops. He was sent to Turkey as Military
Attaché.
The UN Sector North-East Report written by Lt Col Le Hardy contained another
intriguing piece of information.
ASTON: "At 2025 Alpha an armoured patrol reached the Tuzla Highway Strip..."
ASTON: "Cargo-handling activity was observed..."
ASTON: "Five heavy trucks, BiH personnel and some cargo on the ground was
identified by the use of night vision goggles..."
ASTON: "On their way back to the air base, the armoured patrol was fired on by
BiH soldiers."
We asked contacts in Tuzla which unit of the BiH Army had attacked the patrol.
They told us to look for the man on the right in these photographs.
Brigadier Refik Brdjanovic, former commander of the Black Wolves Special Forces
Unit, was in charge if security for the air drops. It was his soldiers who had
shot at the UN patrol.
Concerned about his personal security, Brdjanovic proved difficult to track
down.
We finally caught up with him in Switzerland. Brdjanovic confirmed that the
Americans organised the covert operation.
BRDJANOVIC: ""I understood that Americans are leading these operations because
before any air drops took place there were American planes flying over the
region."
Help was at hand on the ground, too.
BRDJANOVIC: "When we were off-loading these aircraft there were civilians who
were talking English. I do not know if they were Americans but they were
speaking English."
CARGO EYE-WITNESS
BACK OF HEAD INTERVIEW WITH PER KJELL
GREEN-BOX RECONSTRUCTION
Some days after the drops, an aid worker was driving along a road close by Tuzla
airstrip. He was taken by a call of nature.
PER KJELL: "I found a nice place to stop in front of... I would say it was a big
garage with two... or maybe it was three doors at the front, and there was a
good place to park outside.
"So I stopped the car there and got out and... around the corner to 'do my
thing'. There was a small door and the door opened. Inside there I saw three
guys sitting, and I knew them - I'd talked to them and I'd seen them and I knew
they were American.
"They were looking into two boxes that were a little bit short of two metres...
and since they were sitting on it, it was approximately the height of a chair -
40, 50, maybe 60 centimetres high, and maybe the same width of it. It was
green, so it was not an ordinary box, it was some special kind of box.
"And one of them that was nearest me, jumped up and smashed the door in and
locked it!"
[TRIM] "[...] I knew these guys. [...] I was very confused about why they did
that to me." [TRIM]
Six years after the incident, this man still fears for his safety.

ili nisu ne znam, ali su u to vrijeme imali dobru pokrivenost odredjenih ljudi.
Znači, mit o foto-izviđanju MIG-ovima je baš to - mit. Nemojte me sad kao za onaj photo-shop iz Mostara vješat za muda. Ja sam onda samo pitao šta je to. Dali ste mi odgovor, ja prihvatio i - peke!
Naravno da su pokretaci otpora muljali, rovarili, tajno sastancili, organizovali, spremali diverzije, spijunirali, dezertirali itd. Nije li ovo za slavu i ponos majku mu??? Da je toga vise bilo mozda nebi prosli onako ko bosi po trnju?
