Chatting with a taxi driver while back in Belfast a few months ago, he was intrigued when I told him that I was living in Albania. Did I think it was worth investing in property there, he enquired. Not unless you're prepared to risk losing your money, I replied. By the end of the journey he was considering Bulgaria instead. Despite the risks, some people are starting to invest in Albanian property. The Daily Telegraph reports on Ian Warburton who recently spent 29,000 GBP (around 40,000 EUR) on a one-bedroom apartment in a new development in Tirana. "Given its location, I don't see how it can fail to work," he said. The development is called Terra Nova and the apartments are being actively marketed as an investment opportunity by Barrasford and Bird , a UK property company. Here is their sales pitch for Albania: Albania shares the same stunning coastline as Croatia and Montenegro. However, Albania has better weather and prices are about a quarter of those compa

I hope it is not the wahhabists
I don't know for sure what these explosions are, but my guess is either military exercises or a quarry (sp?) of some sort.
unfortunately, if you are realistic you can see that anything bad can happen!
That was me farting! Lol
Appologies for the language but hay must have some fun some times
The Ex-Gitmo prisoners are not deemed dangerous and you should be certain that they are closely watched.
The highjacked plane had no terror ties, and it was simply a deranged Turkish guy who pretended to have a bomb simply because he didn't want to go to prison in Turkey. Could have happened in any other country.
And how did you know that BL was in Albania? Did you have coffee with him? Oh yeah, right, some "credible" newspaper printed the story to sell a few more copies and you ran with it.
In the last election we did have an Islamic party, but can you remind me again how many votes that party got? Also by that reasoning, the Christian-Democrat party should also be a threat, correct?
As for the small self-made bombs they found, what makes you think they're terrorism related? After all why would terrorists use an almost harmless bomb, when they could use a bigger one?
The only valid point that you make is the Ft. Dix one. And even that, you didn't get completely right. They weren't Albania citizens.
If you or anyone else thinks that terrorists would cause explosions on the outskirts of Tirana and the govt, the media and the people would simply look the other way and go on their normal life, you need a reality check. How about you take a stroll around Tirana in the near future and see what the real situation is like.
Who's coming to visit you today?
Maybe at some point I will put down my own thoughts on religion here and have a moderated comment section for all of you who want to express a view about it.
In the meantime, no more comments on religion on this post please.
The dynamite that was found, one package was about 1 ounce, and the other was cutely packaged on a coffee sugar pack. Most likely forgotten by the farting anonymous when he had coffee before leaving for practice.
Now let see what is the next speculation
