Well, Germany goes out of its way not to antagonize Al Qaeda or any of the radical Arab groups, so it cant be one of them.
This is the first time we've gotten this information. I would assume, in this case, particularly since I read somewhere else that many of the victims had nails in them, that somebody in the Turkish neighborhood was busy preparing a bomb to be used elsewhere. The person may not have been a Turk, but probably was a Muslim of some sort. Which makes the initial scenario (a fight between hairdressers!!!) MUCH less likely.
Don't discount the Eighth United States Army Air Force.
No kidding!
using nails to attack a pizza joint. diabolical.
will these people stop at nothing?
Has France determined that it was not intended to target Paris?
Heaven knows I'd like to believe that, but the possibility exists that someone placed this explosive in the muslim district.
I've met more than a few Germans who are not enamored with the "brown people" in their country.
Overwhelmingly likely it was a skinhead or neo-Nazi; quite a lot of incidents involving them attacking Turkish immigrants.
Actually it may have been premature detonation, or a "work accident" as it's called in Gaza.
"Don't take it so hard, Ahmed, it happens to every man now and then."
I suppose that's possible. However, from what I have gleaned from the foreign press, it seems that it was in somebody's apartment. I don't think a skinhead would be living there.
Still, anything's possible - I guess we'll have to wait for more (and more reliable) info.
Right and this neonazi would enter a turkish only area on its own by bike...
No highly unlikely...
Maybe Al Qaeda is mad because they didn't do enough to keep the US out of Iraq. Maybe now they see them as useless and to be destroyed.
Thanks! We hadn't gotten the bike information here yet.
No, I posted this on the earlier thread more tha 4 hours earlier:
From AFP via Yahoo - Die Explosion habe sich gegen 16.00 Uhr im oder vor dem Erdgeschoss des Gebäudes in der Keup-Straße des von vielen Türken bewohnten
Or, per Babelfish: "The explosion has itself against 16.00 o'clock in or before the ground floor of the building in the Keup road from many Turks inhabited"

Since you know the area, where in Mulheim did it occur?
Sorry, guess I didn't see it. There have been several threads on this today, and I haven't had time to read them all. Thanks!
I think Turks were targets in this attack, and I'll go with neo-nazis as the attackers. Turks aren't terrorists unless they're the Kurdish separatists.
