SNIPPET: "Basically he’s saying if Germany pulls out of Afghanistan, al Qaeda will turn a blind eye to Germany and not attack it, which he intimates it will do soon otherwise."

SNIPPET: “Well, al-Qaida realized that, if they are going to appeal to Western audiences, that arguments rooted in hardcore Salafism just won’t resonate. This explains a lot of things, including:”
SNIPPET: “As to the video itself, eh – I dont speak German and, well honestly, this guy’s a dolt. He does seem to be an Al-Zawahiri pet-project so we oughtta keep a close eye on him.”

“Al Qaeda warns Germany”
By NICK GRACESeptember 19, 2009 8:24 AM
SNIPPET: “A senior al Qaeda leader has threatened to attack Germany just days before the nation will go to the polls to choose a new Chancellor.
Bekkay Harrach, alias Al Hafidh Abu Talha al Almani, resurfaced Friday in a chilling new video produced by al Qaeda’s al Fajr Media Center and distributed across the major jihadi Web forums. Dressed in an ill-fitting black blazer, blue tie, and shoulder-length greased hair - looking more like a teenager dressed for his first job interview - he slammed Germany for its military presence in Afghanistan and warned that if Chancellor Angela Merkel is reelected on Sept. 27, Germany will be directly attacked.
His previous warning to Germany, on Jan. 17, 2009, coincided with a massive car bomb attack on the heavily guarded German embassy in Kabul that was orchestrated by the notorious Haqqani Network. Four Afghan civilians and an American soldier died in the attack.”
STRAITS TIMES.com: Berlin - "AL-QAEDA VIDEO CREATOR NAMED" (SNIPPET: "... was identified on Monday by the interior ministry here as Morocco-born Bekkay Harrach." SNIPPET: "...August Hanning said on Monday that Harrach - who called himself Abu Talha Al-Alamani - was 'a very serious Islamist'.") (January 20, 2009)

“The Abu Talha al Almani reality show”
By NICK GRACESeptember 21, 2009 5:28 AM
SNIPPET: “Less than a day after Bekkay Harrach, alias Al Hafidh Abu Talha al Almani, appeared in a video threatening Germany with attacks, he appeared in another video posted Saturday on the militant forums associated with al Qaeda and allied movements. The video, titled “O Allah, I Love You (Part 1),” is a 29-minute-long personal narrative in German about his devotion to Islam and the ultimate sacrifice of martyrdom.”
SNIPPET: “”AQ is positioning for something and it’s not just about the pesky election,” Leah writes. “That’s the pretext, not the driver. This is about recruits. And usually when AQ starts positioning itself for recruits things start going boom.” She is not alone in this line of thinking. The Ansar al-Mujahideen Forum administrator remarked in a public post that “it is another indication to the german that the next bomber there could be in their same western suit and not in ‘radical islamic’ clothes.”
Indeed, there is evidence that suggests al Qaeda’s media wing has been preparing this narrative for months and has actually sat on a series of tapes that it is only now beginning to release publicly.”

Al-Qaeda Targeting Germany for ‘Next 9/11’ — Within Weeks

SNIPPET: “According to ITRR, the latest jihadist communication was unusual in that it was very explicit and open in targeting the Germans, in discussing a coming attack, and in specifying its timing. Aside from Ramadan, which ends 19 September 2009, the upcoming German national election on September 27 has been marked as a “red flag date” by ITRR.”
SNIPPET: “German security services have also been cited in local media discussing stepped up jihadist chatter, threats and intelligence warnings aimed at the German state in recent months. Earlier this year, video messages delivered in German by an al-Qaeda fighter going by the name of Abu Talha, purportedly in Afghanistan, called on Germans to convert to Islam and remove their several thousand troops from the Afghan theater. According to a June report by Der Spiegel weekly, American intelligence agencies believe that al-Qaeda’s leaders have decided to attack Germany, supposedly assigning the job to al-Qaeda of the Islamic Maghreb (North Africa).”
