Logo for I Was Put on Trial by Al Qaeda - Episode 2

Allan Little describes his own terrifying interaction in November 1993 with a group of mujahideen volunteers who were fighting on behalf of Bosnian Muslims during the war there. He examines what we now know about the presence of hundreds of men from other parts of the Muslim world who came to train and fight in the Balkans. Known as the Bosnian Mujahedeen, some were eventually put on trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague.
