AP:

Three suspected Islamic terrorists from an al-Qaida-influenced group nursing "profound hatred of U.S. citizens" were arrested on suspicious of plotting imminent, massive bomb attacks on U.S. facilities in Germany, prosecutors said Wednesday.

German Federal Prosecutor Monika Harms said the three, two of whom were German converts to Islam, had trained at camps in Pakistan run by the Islamic Jihad Union, a group based in Central Asia. They had obtained some 1,500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide for making explosives.

Well, the Turks in Germany are surfacing as terrorists.

It is just a matter of time before the new Turkish president brings his country into the new age of Islamic extremists!

Not true. Cologne has 1 million people, 100.000 of them Muslims, mostly Turks. 99.9% live here peacefully, many of them for 20 to 30 years and more. One of the three suspects caught today has a turkish background. However if he was born and raised here, to what level does his nationality matter ?

Turks are not surfacing as terrorists. Some right wing politicians might want to push this thought, but the majority of the people know it is not true, just propaganda.

I worked 3 months at Koeln-Bonn airport in 2000 and didn't have any problems with Muslims. Do you know the Holiday Inn Express there right by the airport? And the OUTBACK steakhouse?

Had a flat in Bad Godesberg.

The way the news reported this was basically, "This time the attackers knew their stuff, were trained in Pakistan, and an attack was imminent. Not like those other clowns that we reported tried this before."

I smell false-flag to high heaven. I mean, who benefits?

If they knew their stuff they would have been successful.

It's a good thing that terrorism wasn't around before Bush; I wonder what the great Bill Clinton would have done, Oh I know, arrest the culprits and send them to jail like he did for the World Trade Center Bombing in '93. Oh, what happened, they actually destroyed the two towers right under Clinton's nose. Oh, I forgot, according to Hufftards, the planning all took place in just six months while Bush was President. I guess they were busy enough with the free hand Clinton had given them to blow up US Embassies, US military establishments, German discos, hijacking airlines, busy schedule. I can't believe since Bush became president how much terrorism has spread? Wow, Hufftards are the dumbest group of imbeciles you'll ever get exposed to.
Get a clue Captain Kangaroo,
Peace

"Oh, I forgot, according to Hufftards, the planning all took place in just six months while Bush was President.­"


6 months?? That's giving the CIA way too much time to cover their ass.

How long does it take to say "Hey guys, let's hijack a few planes and fly them into buildings?" and then for one of them to get on a computer and look up departure times and make reservations. And for learning the basics of flying, a copy of MS's brand new (at the time) Flight Sim 2000 wouldl not only teach you how to fly and navigate right out of the box, but can show you how to crank a plane's engines, etc.

Someone could pull off a bigger attack than 9/11 easy and probably in less than 2 weeks, it's that easy.

Take a deep breath. Now, realize that these men are terrorists. They wish to commit acts of violence against any and all who do not follow Islam. Their ideology has nothing to do with George W. Bush. They probably don't even know who he is. Every civilized person is their target.

Even if you proudly display your BDS badge, you will still be blown to bits. They do not care.

Yes, good police work and intelligence is vital. These men live in Germany. You are willing to praise the Germans intelligence where as if this was happening in the USA you would be saying it was all a PR stunt to keep us "afraid".

So, while we're bombing countries the terrorists are free to spring up just about anywhere they please. Our war against terrorism is creating more terrorists. Only these are in friendly countries. And these aren't trying to bomb our companies so we'll leave their country. They're doing it simply because they harbor deep hatred against Americans. Yep! The war on terror is going so well! Welcome to the new world order. A terrorist behind every Bush.

Look letrs send the Fundies over there and they can DIE in the name of their phony savior that they keep trying to push down everyones throat. Two good things happen the fundie dies and a Al Queada dies one less of each o worry about.

More room for FREE thoiught and one less book of FairyTales to worry about (their bible ooohhh) I am going to burn in their hell for thst one.

Also it would be one less Racist Nazis Committe (RNC formewrly republican national committe) member to worry about. What the hell what is the difference if one more Cowardly Racist wacked out Christian repukulan dies America and the Worls are much better off anyway.

Back to Earth now...
Bunch of wanna be suicide bombers get arrested in Deutschlan­d.Hopefull­y they throw away the key.
Results:
1.the immigrant laws will get tougher ( good).
2.The prejudice attacks against Muslems will increase ( not good).
3. Turkey's chances of EU membership are finally being put to rest( excellent).

Back to boring Bush bashing.

All your "Results" are based on the assumption that Germans are lunatics, such as the ones in our White House. That might be an invalid assumption.

Wasn't it a few years back, when German tourists were incinerated in a synagogue in Tunisia? The irony.

I've been reading the German press online and found no "hate against Americans" as the motive. The police don't have as of now knowledge about specific targets. However, there is speculation that the US facility at Ramstein and the commercial airport at Frankfurt were targets.

Rhein Main AB (now closed) shares runways with Frankfurt Airport.

Having said that, Ramstein should be wasted as its an absolute shithole filled with lots of bird Colonels and Generals who all have reserved parking spaces and the average troop cannot park his car at the PX.

Waste the Place.

I feel better now (as a civilian), since I use the airport. Anyway, the German interior minister, Schäuble, is trying to get a law through to allow for searches on private computer, without court orders. Already, the government can look up all your bank accounts..­. thanks to the earlier SPD/ Green government.
