I hope the Germans see now that whether they back us or not, they are the West and therefore damned in the eyes of these miserable troglodytes.

Yes, Germany had better get fully on board. No more shipping stuff to Libya, etc.

Just finished reading The New Jackals, written in 1999, pre 9/11, about Osama Bin Laden and Ramzi Yousef. The flyleaf of the book and several chapters mention the growing relationship between OBL and Saddam Hussein.

The author mentions in the last two chapters specifically, how/why the terrorists will attack anyone, including their own people. Of all the books on terrorism and the people who commit it, this was the best one and made the most sense. It was also the most frightening in terms of what the author foresaw as the ability to fight this kind of war.

Secret services fear attacks against atomic power plants

After the terror warning of the Federal Criminal Investigation Office today several Lands of the Federal Republic increased their safety precautions. Beside Hamburg speak also Hessen, Bavaria and Rheinland-Pfalz of a new situation, which requires sharper measures. American and German secret service people are afraid attacks on German atomic power plants.



DPA
Atomic power plant Biblis: a possible terror goal?
Berlin/Washington - "we fear now possible attacks of Islamic extremists after the terror threats against the hospital of the German Federal Armed Forces in Hamburg and against the US air cousin Rhine Main with Frankfurt against German nuclear reactors" - this estimate American and German Geheimdienstler gave to the press agency of strip packing in Berlin and Washington on Wednesday.
The danger results from the recent secretofficial realizations over a close connection of the extremely dangerous group of terror of Ansar e Islam (supporter Islam) with the aluminium-Qaida-terrorists of Osama is shop, described a CIA representative in Washington. The terror threats in Hamburg and in the Rhine Main area are added to Ansar e Islam.

The Islamics did not only become in the USA, but for the references also in Europe including Germany for spectacular notice goals to look, it means. The terror-suspicious of Hamburg left the Federal Republic as soon as possible according to police data. For them mainly in Italy and France one search.

The straight atomic power plants exercise an increasing magic attraction to the Islamic terrorists after newspaper reports. Also the most modern nuclear power stations in the Federal Republic are protected from purposeful terror attacks with an airplane not sufficiently, are called it in one admit become secret study, which had given Federal Secretary of the Environment Juergen Trittin (the Green) after the notices from 11 September 2001 on the World trade center in New York in order. "these soft targets" look for obviously also the trailers of Ansar e Islam, described the representative of a German intelligence service.

The secret services referred to the historical development of the Ansar e Islam, which were to have approximately 1000 active fighters, among them at least about 100 hidden in secret cells in Germany. After the realizations the group of terror short time before the September notices in America was created by radical-Islamic Kurds in the north Iraq. Their goal was the establishment of its own God state à la Taliban in arrangement with Osama is shop. The leader of Ansar e Islam, Mullah Krekar, is to have known and to him swear the aluminium-Qaida-boss personally to also pull into the "holy war" against all "not Glaeubigen" on the whole world.

German Federal Armed Forces hospital in Hamburg: Extensive use of the security forceses
Krekar developed a control center for its network of terror after representation of the secret services with Afghans and Arabs in its northIraqi homeland. He collected even already with attendance in Germany with lectures in mosques money for weapons and equipment, reported the Bavarian protection of the constitution.
In January this yearly had been arrested Krekar in the Netherlands and pushed away into its original asylum country Norway. From there it holds all threads in the hand, was of the CIA to be experienced. It acts "as language pipe of Osama is shop" as it were. That makes Ansar e Islam in such a manner dangerously, described a CIA man.

In the meantime beside Hamburg further Lands of the Federal Republic increased their safety precautions. The Bavarian Minister of the Interior Guenther Beckstein called the referring to notices a further warning signal: "Germany is no more quiescent area, but can also remark area become." This is not a secret service fairy tale. "and that was underestimated unfortunately in the public so far", said the CSU politician in Nuernberg.

Like the speaker of the Bavarian ministry of the Interior, Christoph Hillenbrand, to the press agency AP said, after the recent terror warning also in the Free State the protection devices were strengthened. That applies in particular to American mechanisms. Give it for Bavaria so far no concrete referring to notices: "we are nevertheless in the preventive range rather somewhat more carefully, thus here not even something anbrennen can."

Also a speaker of the Rhineland-Palatinian ministry of the Interior stressed: "it occurred a new situation surely according to the Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations references and an estimate of the LKA." A fundamental change of the which are running measures is not so far necessary. The precautions were always adapted however generally and to all current events. In which form and in which intensity cannot be said for safetytactical reasons.

Before Hessen had already communicated that at particularly sensitive mechanisms like the Frankfurt US air cousin as well as the US base Wiesbaden inheriting home the anyway sharp precautions were again easily increased. Both around open and covered measures, said the speaker of the Wiesbadener of ministry of the Interior, Peter Freier concerns: "we are located in the constant contact with the US responsible persons and the German federal authorities." How concrete the warnings of a terrorist attack are, it does not want to say.

eventually, Islamikazis will be frustrated at how more difficult America is to hit (though not impossible, obviously) ...

so they will target Germany, France, Spain, Italy, England, etc. ... it's just a matter of time ... I'll bet if the Eiffel Tower or such was attacked there'd be some singing a different tune in France ...

But how could this be? Germany threw a bone to the Islamo-fascists when they decided to do anything they could against Israel and curse the USA at every turn. These Europeans are the biggest idiots ever. Two world wars still hasn't taught them that appeasement of enemies doesn't work.

But I thought the terrorists wouldn't harm Germany because they didn't agree with us on removing Saddam? Yeah, right.

Huh? The Iraq war opposition was solely due to domestic reasons (pacifist voters mainly in East Germany) - and it was the only security issue the Federal Republic of Germany disagreed with the US on since its foundation. It´s just logical that Germany is an aim of terrorism, except Iraq, it stands close to the US (Afghanistan, anti-terror-laws, prosecution of terrorists, naval missions at Somali coast line, guarding US facilities in Germany by German soldiers, having contributed to Israels protection during Iraq war, ...).
