Two U.S. Airmen Killed in Shooting at Germany's Frankfurt Airport

The attack came as the bus sat outside Terminal 2 at the airport, according to Frankfurt police spokesman Manfred Fuellhardt. The bus driver and a passenger were killed, and one person suffered serious wounds and another light injuries, he said.

A source tells Fox News that the shooter yelled "Allah Akbar" when opening fire on the U.S. military personnel. He then dropped his gun at the scene, ran into the terminal and was subdued.

U.S. Air Force Europe spokeswoman Maj. Beverly Mock said all four victims were airmen. They were all based at the Lakenheath military base in Britain.

A military official in Europe says the airmen were going to be deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan.

President Obama said he was "saddened and outraged" by the shooting.

The president says the U.S. will spare no effort in finding out how the "outrageous" act took place and will ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice. He called it a tragedy.

At the airport, taxi cab driver Salimi Seraidon said he was sitting at a stand about 200 yards away when the attack took place and said it was over quickly as police rushed onto the scene.

"We just heard the shots," he said.

“Frankfurt Shooter Admits To Shouting ‘Allah Akbar’
Arid Uka’s Facebook friends list was a “Who’s Who of the German Islamist Scene.””
March 4, 2011 - by John Rosenthal

SNIPPET: “According to German press reports, Uka worked at a mail distribution center at the airport.

A Facebook page maintained by Arid Uka under the name “Abu Reyyan” has been removed from the internet. Before the page disappeared, however, the Swiss-based Campusblog saved several screen captures of it. The Facebook friends list of Arid Uka reads like a “Who’s Who of the German Islamist scene,” Campusblog writes. Uka’s Facebook friends include the well-known German Muslim convert and Islamic fundamentalist preacher Pierre Vogel.

According to Campusblog, the friends list also included the rapper formerly known as Deso Dogg, who in 2010 gave up his rap career and adopted the name of Abu Maleq. In a January 7 comment to an article on Abu Maleq reportedly calling for Muslims to engage in jihad, Arid Uka, alias Abu Reyyan, wrote, “And even if someone would call for jihad, so what? That is part of this beautiful religion. One is permitted to fight Kufar [unbelievers] when one is attacked. Abu Maleq, I love you for Allah!””

SNIPPET: “The point of this being that we cannot let such enemy propaganda go unchecked. It affects people. It kills people.

Propagandists with pens are sometimes just as dangerous as those with guns.”

SNIPPET: “So, if you see stupid enemy propaganda fight it tooth and nail. It not only makes us look bad, but it also kills.”

As noted here, Frankfurt Airport shooter Arid Uka is friends with German Salafist preachers using name “Dawaffm DE” who in turn are friends of AzeriJihadMedia at YouTube. AzeriJihadMedia also uploaded a video that was among the Favorites of Stockholm suicide bomber Taimour al-Abdaly.

“Germany’s Jihad Murders Point Up the West’s Denial”
by Robert Spencer
03/08/2011

SNIPPET: “A Kosovar Albanian Muslim, Arid Uka, murdered two American airmen outside the Frankfurt Airport in Germany last Wednesday. “I did it for Allah,” he explained.

Like so many jihad attacks these days, this one was initially dismissed as having nothing to do with terrorism. Boris Rhein, interior minister for Germany’s Hesse state, almost immediately declared that there were no indications that the shootings had been a terror attack. After Uka’s openly jihadist statements, Rhein had to reverse himself. But his initial reaction was indicative of the general tendency toward denial of the reality of the Islamic jihad among government and law enforcement personnel in the West.

What actually would constitute a terrorist attack for enlightened liberal Westerners such as Rhein? Would the murderer have to announce that he was about to carry out a terrorist attack before he started shooting? Would he have to be carrying an al-Qaeda membership card?”

“Islamist preacher ordered to leave Germany”
Published: 21 Apr 11 15:36 CET

SNIPPET: “A radical Muslim preacher has been ordered by German authorities to depart the country immediately. The move comes after he attended an Islamist rally in Frankfurt that took place despite the objections of city leaders.

Citing security concerns, the authorities said if he doesn’t depart on his own, he could be arrested and forcibly deported.

Philips, who was born in Jamaica and raised in Canada, spoke in Frankfurt earlier this week on the subject “Islam, the Misunderstood Religion” alongside German Islamist preacher Pierre Vogel – who authorities have no way to deport – after a court allowed the event over the objections of Frankfurt officials.

Arid Uka, the 21-year-old Kosovar who has admitted to killing two US airmen in Frankfurt in March, is thought to have established contact to radical Islamist preachers including Vogel before the shooting.”
