It'd be a real shame if they were to meet with an "accident".

Maybe they'll get a chance to watch "The King of Scotland" while they're serving their lengthy prison terms.

from the article:
"The two were given a conditional release from custody but were likely to be charged with belonging to a terrorist organization, the spokesman added."Looks like the German govt is not very serious about this ...uh..."arrest."

In was in Germany when the Berlin Wall came down and "Wiedervereinigung" (reunification) with East Germany came about. There were a whole bunch of Bader-Meinhoff types who were uncovered in what used to be the DDR, but was then being called "the five new federal republics" of Germany.
There was a lot of bad blood between the German police and the B-M types, and the terrorists didn't seem to have much luck turning themselves in. I remember one punk named Beer or Beers who managed to get himself shot to death "while escaping" with two broken legs and wearing hand and ankle cuffs. Oh, and then for some reason he decided to take a nap on the S-Bahn tracks.
Such episodes probably contributed to R-Z's reluctance to come out of the cold for so long.

THE AXIS OF TERROR
Carlos the Jackal pledges alliance to Osama bin Laden
FEW CONVICTED MURDERERS and hijackers accept the label "terrorist." One who does--indeed, who embraces terrorism as among man's "noblest pursuits"--is a Venezuelan now serving a life sentence for murder in France. He is Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, better known as "Carlos the Jackal."
He has just published a book in French to announce his conversion to Islam and present his strategy for "the destruction of the United States through an orchestrated and persistent campaign of terror." Entitled "Revolutionary Islam" (Editions du Rocher, 2003) and published under the name Ilich Ramírez Sánchez-CARLOS, the book urges "all revolutionaries, including those of the left, even atheists," to accept the leadership of Islamists such as Osama bin Laden and so help turn Afghanistan and Iraq into the "graveyards of American imperialism."
Son of a militant Communist, Ilich was sent to Moscow to study at Patrice Lumumba University, an institution set up by the KGB to train terrorists from the Third World. That was in the 1970s, when the most fashionable cause was opposition to the U.S. intervention in Indochina.
Ilich opted for the less fashionable cause of Palestine, and soon moved to Lebanon, where he trained for operations organized by George Habash's People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). (snip)

Germany isn't great about keeping any terrorists in custody...I don't think this is the first time.

Operation commander Yonatan Netanyahu was the only soldier killed during the Entebbe rescue. He was the older brother of eventual Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His story is found
here.

I read that article earlier...before FR shut down.
I wonder what Bibi is going to do??
I bet he isn't happy about the terrorists being let go.
