Currying the favor of The Lord of the Flies

Macedonian police gunned down seven innocent Pakistani immigrants, then claimed they were terrorists, in a killing staged to show they were participating in the US-led war on terror, authorities said.

...The so-called “Rastanski Lozja” action was carried out in March 2002 by special Macedonian police who claimed to have eliminated a terrorist group allegedly plotting to attack international embassies and representatives in the country.

Ms Konteska said that the seven Pakistani men were in fact illegal immigrants who were lured into Macedonia by promises that they would be transferred to Western Europe.

...Since breaking away from Yugoslavia in 1991, Macedonia has been eager to win US political and economic support in its search for acceptance into the Western camp of nations.
