Alija Rabić, most likely Bosniak, was a commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army, and was part of the Mujahideen. He was killed in a border crossing incident on July 18th, 1998, while guiding a 50-man group from Albania to Kosovo.[1][2][3]
Alija Rabić joined the Kosovo Liberation Army in the spring of 1998.[4]
He was assigned as a commander to guide a 50-man group from Albania to Kosovo. Alija Rabić was known as “Ali Rabiçi” to avoid getting kicked out of the Kosovo Liberation Army. The group included one Yemeni and 16 Saudis, six of whom bore passports with Macedonian Albanian names.[5]
Alija Rabić’s group entered Kosovo, and at 2:00[6] they were ambushed by Yugoslav border guards.[7] Clashes ensued, reportedly lasting until 7:00.[8] Cameras rolled out, and broadcasted corpses of militants in the ambush site. Survivors told monitors from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe that KLA fighters had led the mujahideen into a trap and fled.[9] 4 bodies of KLA members next to big stones could be seen in the video, a theory is that they fell into the ambush unlike the other KLA fighters who led them into a trap. Two corpses of fighters could be seen, one in the front who is laying face down, wearing regular clothes. The other fighter is a bearded man with curly hair, wearing a black uniform. A theory is that this man is Alija Rabić because of the black uniform.
