When the Bosnian didn't immediately answer,
Naslin added, "They say that it will be a sign of
your goodwill if you turn it over to them."
The Iranian's words didn't contain a threat, but
Asdik knew that the threat was there and that this
wasn't the time for him to antagonize his erstwhile
allies. The Iranians had proved to be a great help to
the Bosnian cause, and he needed them too much.
Particularly right now.
The Western media's attention was focused on sex
scandals in the PROFOR units and other headline-
grabbing gossip. Because of that, little notice was
being given to the fact that Serb and Croat leaders
in Bosnia were dying in larger numbers than would
normally be expected, even by the local standards.
They were dying in car crashes, house fires and, in
the all-time favorite of the region, ambushes in re-
mote areas. The UN investigations of these incidents
always turned up complete blanks. It was true that
these deaths all benefited the Bosnian Muslim cause,
but there was nothing pointing to Muslim hit squads
being responsible for them.
Asdik had to admit that the Iranian commandos
were good at what they did. They had been well
trained, then they had been tested in battle to weed
out the weak and the unlucky. The survivors were
some of the best troops he had ever seen, particularly
for missions like this. The Western world called them
terrorists, but to Asdik they were freedom fighters,
and the Bosnian cause needed them right now.

He had no use for a wrecked airplane, though,
even one of the famous American stealth fighters.
And if the Iranians wanted it, they could have it. For
a price, of course. They thought they were the mas-
ters of the marketplace, but they had never seen a
Bosnian Muslim haggle in a village market. He
would give them the Yankee plane, but they would
pay for it with even more weapons and ammunition
and maybe more of those small but reliable Japanese
trucks.
"Tell your leaders that they can have it," Asdik
said. "I am glad to do anything I can for the final
victory of the revolution. But--" he shrugged
"--we are poor here in Bosnia. As you know, we
have been cut off from everything that we need to
defend ourselves, and the faith, from the incursions
of the infidels."
