What did Wikipedia remove from the Bosnian mujahideen article?

The opening as it read in 2010

Bosnian mujahideen were foreign Muslim volunteers who fought on the Bosnian government side during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war .¹ They started to arrive in Bosnia with the aim of helping their "Muslim brothers" against the "Serbian aggressors". Once hostilities broke out between the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ABiH) and the Croatian Defence Council (HVO), they also participated in battles against the HVO alongside ABiH units. Some of them were humanitarian workers (such as Abu Hamza , one of the leaders), and some of them were common criminals escaping the law of their native countries, but most of them were just fighters. The number of volunteers is still disputed , from around 300 to 1,500 or even more. According to the Radio Free Europe research there are no precise statistics dealing with the number of foreign volunteers, but the number of passport or other official document requests towards Bosnian institution by foreign volunteers, can serve as a rough approximation. According to that approximation there were 400 foreign volunteers during the Bosnian war. They came mostly from North Africa, the Near East and the Middle East. When scenes of devastation and war crimes began to air on BBC television broadcasts, many British Muslims were shocked that such horrific events could take place in the context modern Europe without any Western intervention. It gave sudden and unexpected credence to the calls of violent radicals who suggested it was time for Muslims to start taking their personal security into their own hands. Zaki Badawi, the principal (at that time) of the Muslim College in London , acknowledged in early 1992, " Bosnia has shaken public opinion throughout the Muslim world more deeply than anything since the creation of Israel in 1948."

Nema jednog čistog izvora iz kojeg bismo mogli izvoditi takve zaključke. Ono do čega sam ja došao je brojka od nekih 400 osoba koje su različitim kanalima komunicirale sa lokalnim vlastima, tražeći, naprimjer, ovjeru svojih pasoša i drugih ličnih dokumenata. Dakle, to bi bio jedan od mogućih kriterija. Drugi od mogućih kriterija jeste spisak vojne jedinice El Mudžahid. Međutim, i ta vrsta evidencije je nepouzdana, jer većina tih osoba nije ni vojnim ni civilnim vlastima otkrivala svoj pravi identitet.²

Military unit Bosnian mujahideen ( ), also called El Mudžahid , were foreign Muslim volunteers who fought on the side of Bosniaks during the 1992–95 Bosnian War . They arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the aim of fighting for Islam and on behalf of Muslims. Some of them were originally humanitarian workers (such as Abu Hamza , one of the leaders), while some of them were considered criminals in their home countries for illegally travelling to Bosnia and becoming soldiers. The number of volunteers throughout the war is still disputed, from around 300 to 6,000. Precise numbers are still a matter of dispute mainly due to Serb propaganda or political sensitivities. According to Radio Free Europe research there are no precise statistics on the number of foreign volunteers. Examples of mujahideen from Bosnia who gained "legendary status" are Abdelkader Mokhtari , Fateh Kamel , and Karim Said Atmani , all of North African origin.
