Afrim Loxha and I took two revolvers from Sabri Novosella. Uncle Metush decisively told both me and Afrim, ‘Don’t shoot at the army or the police because they’ll kill you. But be careful from the sides so they don’t kill you.’ He was one of the greatest visionaries I’ve ever known, Metush Krasniqi.
[…] Now these nine people were imprisoned. I was friends with all of them. I was talking about what to do, to carry out an action, damn it. I thought, I’ll throw a bomb at the District Court one night before these guys go to trial. In Hogosht, I got a bomb that I still have today, I mentioned this at the symposium for the 50th anniversary of the ‘68 demonstrations.
But Uncle Metush decisively told me, ‘No,’ he said, ‘because then they’ll be sentenced twice as harshly as terrorists.’ I had prepared the whole area behind the court since I used to pass by there day and night, I knew the alleys where to enter, and I was 28 years old, playing in the Second Central League of former Yugoslavia in football, meaning I was in good condition. I had calculated where to hide everything.
