Region of piece at it again?
Appeasement reaps its deadly harvest again. The Germans are still trying to fight terror with law enforcement tools. (Like Kerry wants to do here... shudder.) Recently, the German judiciary let one of the terrorists lose on appeal. It's war and they act like it's a dope peddling ring. How many Germans will die before they wake up??
Perhaps another work accident, per the usual PLO procedures? Wonder if this nail studded bomb was meant for somewhere other than this neighborhood?
It could be some descendant of the Bader-Meinhoff gang, too. Plenty of unsavory types who like to blow things up in the name of peace.

You may have posted this thinking you were funny. (I going to assume this was an attempt at humor, rather than a deeply felt belief.)
However, this forum is already branded by some people as an ultra-right wing repository of nuts. It behooves us to NOT make posts which could be construed as coming from a Nazi.
Well at least we know that it wasn't caused by militant Islam, since Germany did not participate in the Iraq war.
