He mentioned US intelligence officials were in contact with the KLA, especially with former KLA commander for the Dukagjin region, Ramush Haradinaj.
I believe they were told not to engage in terrorist activities, commit war crimes, and, of course, not promote Islamic fundamentalism. This was our main policy at the time”, Ruby said.
The former senior US official said he had learned that the CIA and Haradinaj have been in touch for years.
