The war in Kosovo by way of Brooklyn. The U.S. is the world's largest gunrunner country.

Florin Krasniqi bought a 50 cal. sniper rifle in a gun shop in St. Mary’s Pennsylvania for “elephant hunting”.  It was used by the Kosovo Albanian rebel group known as the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and it’s probably still being used.

Eventually plane loads full of U.S. purchased firearms and ammunition were shipped to Europe on UPS Air Freight and smuggled into Kosovo. 

The “Iron Pipeline” along the Atlantic Seaboard is international. 

“THE BROOKLYN CONNECTION” is from the book:

"Be not Afraid, for You Have Sons in America"
by Stacy Sullivan. 

"Florin Krasniqi immigrated to the United States from Kosovo in 1988 by sneaking across the Mexican border in the trunk of a white Cadillac. Once in America, he started his own business, fell in love, married, and bought a house. But he did not forget the country he left behind. In 1996, when one of his cousins helped start the Kosovo Liberation Army in the hope of securing Kosovo's independence, Florin chipped in to help. 

Over the next two years, Florin helped direct a network of Albanian émigrés across the U.S., raising millions of dollars for the rebel force. Soon he began visiting gun shows across America and running weapons and other supplies to the rebels. All the while he was also lobbying some of Washington's most powerful politicians. Eventually he helped recruit American volunteers, some of whom left schools and colleges in the New York area to fight for a homeland they hardly knew. 

Be Not Afraid, For You Have Sons in America tells the remarkable story of how a small group of young men in Kosovo backed by a network of émigrés in the United States started a guerrilla army that lured the world's most powerful military alliance into fighting their war and changed the course of history in the Balkans forever."

"The KLA, formed in 1991,^[60] initiated its first campaign in 1995 when it launched attacks targeting Serbian law enforcement in Kosovo, and in June 1996 the group claimed responsibility for acts of sabotage targeting Kosovo police stations. In 1997, the organisation acquired a large amount of arms through weapons smuggling from Albania, following a rebellion which saw large numbers of weapons looted from the country's police and army posts."
