Iranian Man in Germany Warned of Attack
- Justice Source

BERLIN (Reuters) - An Iranian man in Germany had warned German and U.S. authorities about a global danger less than a week before the terror attacks in the United States, justice ministry sources said on Friday.
The man, who was in custody in the northern city of Hanover awaiting deportation, had insisted on ringing the White House to warn them of the danger.
``The man was allowed to ring the White House, but there, as well as at the CIA, he was not taken seriously,'' an official from the justice ministry of Lower Saxony told Reuters under condition of anonymity.
The official said authorities in Germany believed the Iranian was mentally ill.
The official said the justice ministry was informed of the man and his warnings on Wednesday, the day after hijacked aircraft crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The Federal Prosecutor's Office said it would issue a report on the matter later in the day.
One newspaper said the man was now being interviewed by German authorities and by the CIA.
The official said there was still doubt, even after the attacks, that the man really knew about the plot.
Germany has become a focal point for investigations into Tuesday's attacks after it emerged three of the suicide hijackers may have belonged to a Hamburg-based extremist group committed to attacking symbolic U.S. targets.
German authorities have to decide on Friday about whether to keep in custody an airport worker as they extend a probe into a German link to the terror attacks.
Reports of a second man being held were denied by the federal prosecutors office on Friday.
That was a different circumstance. Of course we supported
anyone who was willing to attack the Soviet beast.
How do we fire all the CIA and hire new people??!
Nor was the FBI!!!
Are you able to discern any difference between these types of actions against terrorism vs. Afghanistan? Afghanistan made Bin Laden their director of defense… They provide refuge for him. They have for years. They support his cause because their cause is his cause.
Well?
Maybe a shot of caffeine will temporarily boost your thinking to a slightly higher level…
Then you can review the facts again and figure it out...
Then again, maybe not...
Duh…
Yet whenever a European politician has the fortitude to try and put a stop to immigration from the "Third World", he is promptly dismissed as a Nazi by the "enlightened" West, including many on this very forum.
Maybe NOW people will understand why groups like the Front Nationale and the Austrian Freedom Party are correct.
Government apologist are just as guilty and even more despicable.
Nonetheless,we (the USA) supported a known terrorist,and according to about half of the FR posters over the last couple of days,this means we should nuke ourselves.
How about a more recent example of US support for terrorists and acutally committing terrorist acts ourselves? I give you the bombing of civilian targets in the Balkans,and giving our support to Islamic forces (KLA) over Christian forces in Bosnia?
So what are you saying here? Spit it out, man.
Jimmah Carter already did the firing in 1977. He even went so far as to allow the publishing of the names of foreign nationals who worked in their countries as assetts for the USA. He just didn't do any rehiring. He spent the money on equipment instead.
I'm aware that the US sometimes supports terrorists. Do you feel any better now?
