| Germany hunting 10 men [support cell/s] behind attack plot |
| 2007-09-06 |
| German authorities are searching for 10 men they believe provided support for a foiled plot to attack US targets on German territory. German prosecutors have charged the three suspected Islamists - two Germans and Turk - with belonging to a terrorist organisation after security forces prevented what they said would have been "massive bomb attacks". Possible targets included US military bases, bars and discos frequented by Americans and Frankfurt airport. A senior official at the Interior Ministry said the three arrested men had backers at home and abroad who were still being tracked. All three terror suspects had trained in militant camps in Pakistan before forming a domestic cell of the "Islamic Jihad Union" -- a little known al Qaeda-affiliated Sunni Muslim group with roots in Uzbekistan. |

| #10 I've long advocated solitary confinement for convicted terrorists. Definitely no prison congregations for Muslim inmates. Individual monitored talks with an approved imam, maybe. The only effective measure involves taking out Islam's top tiers of clergy, scholars and sponsors. Nothing will change until the big turbans start dropping like flies. |

| #9 Right on, Zen. I'd also suggest keeping muslim prisoners in solitary confinement so they don't try to spread their disease to the other prisoners. |

| #8 Wouldn't it be a good idea to halt all Western air travel to Pakistan and simply exclude from entry all Pakistani citizens or those with Pak visas? This is ridiculous. |

| #6 More key bits from ed's article: Chancellor Angela Merkel said in an interview released today that German troops would remain in Afghanistan for several more years, despite recent setbacks in the region. "To walk away would send the wrong signal," Merkel told N-24 television. Magnus Norell, at the Swedish Defence Research Agency, said that while Germany's mission in Afghanistan could be a motive for a terrorist attack, a flood of other factors could also play in. "It could be discontent with Germany, or even western Europe as a whole. It's really not that easy as to say that this (Afghanistan) would be the reason for it." |
