German police were today searching for around 10 more members of a terror cell suspected of plotting major bomb attacks, after the arrest of three men and the seizure of explosives materials. Officials have said the three men already in custody - two German converts to Islam and a Turkish national - were planning attacks which could have proved more deadly than those in London or Madrid, with possible targets including US military bases, discos, pubs and Frankfurt's international airport.
August Hanning, a senior interior ministry official who formerly headed Germany's foreign intelligence service (BND), said today that police were now seeking around 10 more people suspected of acting as a back-up team to the alleged plotters.

Its not over quite yet..
Their entire, muslim population is the back-up team.
Yesterday’s reports suggested that around 40 other raids were made across Germany. I don’t know whether tip of the iceberg is quite what we’re seeing, but one would hope that there is a lot more going on to combat this stuff than comes to the surface.
There aren’t too many places to hide in Germany, but they do have a huge number of Turks.
this is because of Germany’s head in the sand...and trading with Sadamm...thinking they won’t hurt us!
You convert to a new religion and the first thing you do is blow some people up? Oooook......

My understanding is that they have asked for Jack Bauer to assist in this matter... has anyone else heard this rumor?
This is so scary...my son leaves Saturday morning for a week’s business trip to Germany. ;( Prayers, please.
The Romans also eventually discovered that 'making deals' with barbarians was not a substitute for security. The main problem with attempting to 'make a deal' with Islam, is which Islam are you dealing with ? Shiite or Sunni ? Which Imam from which Caliphate are you making a deal with ? Any Imam or Mullah can call a Jihad. Back in the Crusader days the Pope was the ultimate authority. You could ask the Pope for a Crusade, but in the end it was the Pope who called for the Crusade. So not getting heavily involved with the Sunni and Shiite rifts within Iraq, apparently offered the Germans no protection from the Turkish Islamists. A Cult of War is never satisfied.
the krauts will convince him he’ll die of global warming or melting ice caps before a terrorist attack.
It won’t be over until Muslims restrain their radical fringe. That won’t happen until they have had a serious ass kicking, which is coming. Millions will die.
Interesting.
Since the episode occurred (and I actually live here in Germany)...this has been the starting news everynight on TV. The public knows alot about these two German idiots who joined up with the Muslims now...and you get the impression that most see them as “losers”. You also see a police force that had only one or two “hints”...and started watching these guys real closely...which most people see as a major plus on security within Germany.
While the two German Muslims may attempt to keep their mouth shut...I’m betting the cops place them at a prison with skinheads...and let them sweat a bit. Both will be talking a lot over the next month, and you will see secondary guys picked up for questioning. I also think the local mullah they come under...is going to be a major target. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve had that guy bugged the whole time.
My bets are on Jack..
Thanks. I travel to Germany several times a year and always enjoy it. I have great respect for it as a nation and what it has accomplished in the past half-century. This incident is a wake-up call that I am sure will be heeded.
Great to meet a fellow Freeper over there!
