In her apartment police found the appropriate farewell letters.

Amusing. The translator program couln't distinguish the third-person plural possessive pronoun ("their") from the second-person feminine ("her"). It could also have chosen the second person formal ("your"), because all three in German are the same word: Ihr.

al Qaeda promised some action this fall.

Oh, I thought they meant they had a new flock of sheep to romance.

Police said they were pursuing about 20 leads related to Eric Breininger, a 21-year-old German, and Houssain al-Malla, a 23-year-old Lebanese, were last seen in the zone along the Pakistan-Afghan border

Interesting detail.

Minneapolis has a huge Somali Population. Many Americans do not even realize many Somali’s are Muslim.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Largest Somali population in the US is in Minnesota....

"Largest Somali population in the US is in Minnesota...."

Didn't some Somali's move from Georgia to Mass. because of better welfare benefits there?

[holden]

But, hey, if you're going to surveil Somalis, you'd better hassle just as many Inuits, Icelanders, Angolans and Maoris or the Somalis will get off using a profiling defense in front of a Clinton appointee.

Welfare.....Not sure about Mass., wouldn’t doubt it, but that’s why they’re here in MN.

I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning and it was being reported that MN pays out $11 BILLION a year in welfare “benefits”.

[Straight Vermonter]

I think Somalis are just about 100% Muslim.

[BykrBayb]

Why the quotation marks? Are they suspected terrorists or not?

Not only are they Muzzie, but they are nasty entitled Muzzies, despised throughout Africa for their selfish and underhanded ways.

According to a BBC radio report (a translation of a statement from a German-speaking spokesman which I heard minutes ago) there was no “storming” and no “commandos”. Two regular police boarded the plane and escorted the two passengers onto the tarmack where they were arrested.

"I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning and it was being reported that MN pays out $11 BILLION a year in welfare “benefits”."

"...the way to work..."

Aren't you the 'acting White' sucker.

I believe you’re thinking of the state of Maine, which has a huge Somali population. Funny, Somalia’s a hot, desert coutnry, but they’re now living in Minnesota and Maine - two states as cold as a grave digger’s butt, at least in winter.

Something smells here. GSG9 arrests two suspected terrorists afrter storming an aircraft under orders? It should be policy that any identified "tango's" get a pair of 9mm slugs for their trouble right through the forehead instead of jeopardizing lives looking around to see "what is what" and "who is who."

[rahbert]

I wonder why having these here is better than having Catholic Mexicans here...?

As of 2003, GSG9 had reportedly conducted over 1,500 missions since their formation, and of that number there was only 5 missions where shots were fired.

as a make work program for social workers and the rest of the bottom suckers that make up the “helping system.”
