German Islamic fanatics jailed for planning 'second September 11'
Telegraph UK ^ | 3-4-10 | Alian Hall

Posted on 03/05/2010 8:59:42 PM PST by STARWISE

Four Muslim fanatics dreamed of "mounting a second September 11" with a series of bomb attacks on a US military base in Germany as well as nightclubs and restaurants used by American servicemen.

The gang, two of whom were German-born but converted to Islam, plotted to detonate explosives 100 times more powerful than those used in the attacks on the London Underground in July 2005, in a "monstrous bloodbath", a court heard.

Had the plot not been foiled the gang, a cell of a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda, would have killed 150 soldiers, along with women and children in a "mass murder unrivalled in Germany."

On Thursday, at the end of a nine-month trial, the ringleader, Fritz Gelowicz, 30, the son of a doctor and engineer, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the plot. His sidekick Daniel Schneider, 24, was also given an 12-year sentence.

*snip*

The gang, known as the "Sauerland Cell" after the tourist region where they stockpiled massive amounts of chemicals for the bombs, had planned to carry out the attacks at the US Air Force base at Ramstein and in restaurants and nightclubs in the area, in October 2007.

Judge Ottmar Breidling said the case:

"has shown with frightening clarity what acts young people who are filled with hatred, blinded and seduced by wrong-headed ideas of jihad are prepared and able to carry out." "Never before had there been a terror attack of that dimension in Germany," he said. "You were blinded by a strange, hate-filled notion of jihad and you turned yourselves into angels of death in the name of Islam."

Uncertainty surrounds future of U.S.-Japan military alliance
By Teri Weaver, David Allen and Chiyomi Sumida, Stars and Stripes

Online Edition, Friday, March 5, 2010

Excerpt:

RELATED STORY: Guam expansion central to U.S. realignment strategy in Asia

TOKYO — On Okinawa, long-suffering residents are fed up with U.S. Marine Corps helicopters relentlessly beating above their rooftops.

In Tokyo, an assertive new Japanese government is reopening basing questions that the U.S. military thought were settled.

Even on Guam, a U.S. territory in the Pacific where support for American military bases was taken for granted, local officials are suddenly asking the Pentagon to slow a huge expansion plan.

Sixty-five years after the U.S. victory in World War II cemented America’s military presence across the Far East, rumblings of discontent are growing. Nationalism, not-in-my-backyard syndrome, the rising influence of China — all are playing a role.

What’s not clear is whether the signs amount to momentary disaffections or deeper, seismic shifts in Asian public opinion that could eventually force America to redraw its military footprint across the Pacific.

Scholars, military experts and political leaders say the U.S.-Japan military alliance — the foundation of America’s strategic presence in Asia — could be on the cusp of change as new administrations in both nations search for equilibrium in their half-century-old relationship.

..."mass murder unrivalled in Germany."

Maybe not. Maybe it was not only rivalled but well surpassed not too long ago.

Why, it must simply be because of our involvement in the Middle East, don't you know. If we follow a course of non-interventionism, they'll leave us alone.

A simple case of "Not In My Back Yard"!

I like the big motto inside one of the jet aircraft hangers at Yokota AB out in Western Tokyo: "Never mind the noise of our engines. That's just the sound of FREEDOM"...

They even have that up in Japanese if I recall correctly. ;-)

Have you noticed,

That once they get possessed by that A-devil,

They ALL look alike, regardless of their ethnic or national origin?

Just my humble opinion.

And i am not just talking about the scruffy beard either.

“Fritz Gelowicz, 30, the son of a doctor and engineer,...”
But, but, but I thought that they were poor, oppressed goat fornicators discriminated against by the evil west.
They should be executed by hanging, wrapped in pig skins and buried in a pit of pig guts.
