FRANKFURTThe suspected gunman who killed two U.S. servicemen at Frankfurt airport Wednesday had links to Germany's radical Islamist circles, but German investigators say they currently believe he carried out the attack on his own.

Investigators suspect Arid Uka, a 21-year-old ethnic Albanian whose family moved to Germany from Kosovo, had an "Islamist" motivation for firing at U.S. Air Force personnel on a bus at the airport, according to the office of Germany's chief federal prosecutor, Monika Harms.
Among other leads, German authorities are investigating witness statements that Mr. Uka had befriended more than two years ago a known Islamist, Rami Makanesi, a Syrian-German currently in German custody on terror-related charges. Mr. Makanesi, frequented the radical mosque in Hamburg where leaders of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks met and prayed.

"On his Facebook profile, Mr. Uka made plain his Islamist political leanings and approval of jihad, as well as his love of first-person shooter computer games such as "Call of Duty: Black Ops."
Paging James Clapper...
It won’t be long before they tell us that he is “mentally ill” and was more influenced by the video games than his religion................
It is sad and amusing to see that Obama doesn’t have the stones to call this what it was: another attack by a radical Muslim on America. He should be impeached, tried for treason and brought to justice by a jury of military families who have lost loved ones due to his insane rules of engagement.
Suuuure, he was just a lone nut. Right.

Really?
Gee, what a surprise...
"Now let's not jump to conclusions here."
News of the shooting will make its way to Clapper sometime the middle of next week.
“News of the shooting will make its way to Clapper sometime the middle of next week.”

DÜH!
Come Down everyone! there is no reason to panic! We do not want to make any conclusions until the inverstigations have been completed!
