NYPD is still looking for the guy that killed Montenegrin boxer from Brooklyn, Kemal Kolenovic, in The Bronx. Kemal was killed by a black SUV at around 4 am on New Years eve, trying to mediate a heated, alcohol-fueled and apparently politically motivated argument. The car was driven by Ahmet Gashi, whose sketch is here, released by the police. I think media incorrectly identified Kemal at first as Albanian from Montenegro - given his name, he is probably Muslim, but Slavic. Ahmet, on the other hand, by name is an Albanian Muslim, posibly from Montenegro (but he could be from Kosovo). As Kemal was not an intended target, I believe it is too early to meditate on Muslims killing Muslims. Ahmet might have been too drunk to tell a friend from foe, and Kemal might be just standing in the wrong place at the wrong time, who the hell asked him to be a peace-maker? What this spectacular vehicular manaslaughter at the known Montenegrin hangout in Da Bronx teaches us is that the war over Montenegrin independence did not end with Montenegrin independence: it is moved on, and it came over to the U.S. with its exiles... http://www.1010wins.com/pages/178013.php?contentType=4&contentId=28399 8 http://www.nypost.com/seven/01012007/news/regionalnews/brooklyn_boxer_ cut_down_regionalnews_wynne_parry________and_jamie_schram.htm ivo--------------------------------------------------------- Ivo Skoric 105 Robbins Street Rutland VT 05701 802.775.7257 [email protected] balkansnet.org # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [email protected] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
