Thanks for posting this. I saw a little fragmentary announcement about it in the Spanish press today, but they didn't have any details.

This was obviously a very big operation.

Yes, it does seem to have been big.

"Spiegel" mentions "Die Welt" and n-tv in the article, so it seems like the German press is going after this story. "Spiegel ran it as the first article on their page.

No comment from the Feds because of on-going investigations about the runours it was prepared for in Germany. Didn't Janet Reno say that once?

A Morrocan-born British citizen who had been in the US for 14 years opened a cafe near our home about 5 years ago. He began a time in the mornings where he invited people of all faiths to come in for discussions along with breakfast. I noticed he had pictures displayed of his wife and daughters--no scarves of any type even though he was Muslim. Then we began to notice Arab-looking men coming in to talk with him and he would always look upset. He would get phone calls that upset him. We stopped eating there because we began not to be sure where our money was going. He made a trip back to Morroco last spring (around the time of the terrorist activity there) and then he abruptly sold the cafe and returned to Britain. The new owner mentioned something about his questionable business practices to me. Then I remembered from a newspaper article about him and his business that he was sick on 9/11 and the cafe was closed. One has to wonder...
