Germany has been threatened with attacks for its presence in Afghanistan in a video released yesterday by the US centre for surveillance of Islamist sites (SITE).
In the 30 minute Video message, a man calling himself Abu Talha Al-Alamani and presumed to be a member of al Queda says the Germans are "gullible and naive" if they thought they could "escape unscathed when they are the third occupation force in Afghanistan."
The man, whose face is hidden by a black turban in the video, adds: "Letting me blow myself up in the name of Allah has been my wish since 1993.
"Time is running out for the Germans. I say to the German people 'arise and become just again'."
SITE said the video, in German with Arabic subtitles, had been produced by Al-Qaeda's production unit As-Sahab and was dated October 2008. Its authenticity had not been verified.
The message, headed "The Plan to Save Germany," went on: "The world economic crisis has hit the pride of the Germans head-on". Any rescue plan would be useless for as long as Berlin continued to keep soldiers in Afghanistan.
If it withdrew its troops, "the hopes of the government can perhaps be satisfied," said 'Alamani', adding that "there are not only lives at stake, but also jobs" as "a champion exporter is also vulnerable away from home."

So al-Alemani the German has wanted to blow himself up for Allah even before it was cool?
This guy isn't merely an idiot, clearly he is also an incompetent one.
Hmmmm... Does that make him an 'imbecile', or a 'moron'...
Didn’t Germany oppose the invasion of Iraq? Lot of good it did them.
“Asymmetric” warfare is old guerrilla warfare renamed, and our contemporary enemy—though with huge numbers of adherents—is not so much as relatively good at it (see public affairs, physical tactics, all). Our appeasers of various motivations (fear, pecuniary,...) give them far too much credit even before any real war happens.
