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."

Nineteen (or twenty nine) years on the run, and upon being arrested, they are released from custody?

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)

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.

the radical left-wing scene

That's what it was: a "scene." A fad. A hip new urban mode with a cachet of Danger and Purpose. What it meant was people dead, lives ruined, and a world aflame.

Now that the kitsch is gone, after a lifetime on the run, these slime are ready to meet justice.

Of course, we'll hear the usual blandishments from the media and the pinko fellow travelers: they should be forgiven; they've paid their debt; they were just innocents caught up in an insane milieu.

There should be no mercy for these wretches. If Saddam Hussein hanged for his crimes, so should they.

"... the two suspected members of the "Revolutionaere Zellen" (RZ), or Revolutionary Cells, had given themselves up in December. RZ members helped Carlos the Jackal take ministers hostage at an OPEC conference in Vienna in 1975."

It's worth noting that by being agressive...taking the war to the terrorists in Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Liberia, Iraq, the Philippines, etc...that we are gleening intel that is rooting out older terrorists who would otherwise have managed to remain on the run.

> The group emerged in the early 1970s from the radical left-wing scene...

"scene" -- what an *odd* turn of phrase. Peculiar. Almost places belonging to a gang of 1970s terrorist thugs on par with the contemporaneous Punk Rock *scene* or the Discotheque *scene*.

Is *that* what bored German youth were doing at the time? One shudders to think. Forty years previously I guess they had the Nazi scene to keep themselves busy. Nature doth abhore a vaccuum.

So now, I guess, we have the Al Qaeda *scene* to go along with our Emos and our Goths... just one more antisocial diversion for our bored youth to get involved in. But it certainly explains the David Hicks thing.

1971 to 1979 : (IDI AMIN RUNS UGANDA —) Idi Amin,... sadist and mass murderer who ran Uganda from 1971 to 1979...Amin left a despicable legacy. A Muslim convert, he murdered at least 250,000 Ugandan Christians, most of them Anglicans, though he hated Catholics with equal zeal. He also murdered Ugandans of Asian descent and drove the rest into exile. Amin’s “ethnic cleansing” of Asians severely damaged Uganda’s economy. Amin allied with Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi and buddied with other Arab radicals. He considered war with Kenya and fought neighboring Tanzania, whose forces finally helped topple him. ..Amin and his goons killed between 300,000 and 400,000 Ugandans, out of a 1970s population of around 10 million. Amin’s raw homicidal toll exceeds that of ex-Serb dictator Slobodan Milosevic’s genocides in Bosnia and Kosovo.
...Amin survived on shrewdness and showmanship buttressed by coldblooded slaughter. Six feet four with a weightlifter’s chest, he could play to a movie image of an African dictator, especially when he draped his military uniform with ribbons and gold medals the size of grapefruit. His smart mouth fed the press a line of sass that no reporter could ignore- a line of anti-Western sass. Amin understood political theater. One day, he organized an attack on apartheid South Africa. Well, not quite. He had a Ugandan battalion stage a mock attack against a village flying Republic of South Africa flags. It got him headlines. ...
During the Cold War, Amin escaped their [”international human-rights crowd’s”] condemnation because he was “anti-colonialist.” What utter pish. He was a vicious brute who killed en masse and then retired to a luxury hotel. -—— “Amin’s grisly legacy,” By Austin Bay, Washington Times, Friday, August 22, 2003
