9/11/07 Bombing Thwarted!
NowPublic contributor phrolen is a veteran of Operation Iraqi
Freedom and Joint Taskforce Katrina. His commentary is based on actual
experience.
Police in Germany have thwarted what they are calling would have been the "Largest terrorist attacks ever on German soil.” The attack, which is said by officials to have been just days away, would have wreaked havoc on both civilian and military planes and could have possibly, killed hundreds. Police in Germany have arrested three men all German converts to Islam, and seized bomb making equipment and explosives from a residence.
The German arrests come just days after a large terrorism raid in Denmark netted 8 suspected Islamic extremists and also recovered bomb making supplies. European officials say that the two cases are un related. In a statement made to the public German federal prosecutor Monika Harms exclaimed "We have prevented what we believe would have been the worse terrorism attacks ever on German Soil." In a later interview Joerg Ziercke, the head of Germany's federal crime office described the suspects as having "A profound hatred for the United States." Sources have named Frankfurt International Airport and Ramstein Air Base as possible targets in the plot. At least one of the men is reported as having received terrorism training in Al Qaeda camps in Pakistan
Police have smashed a suspected al Qaeda terror cell nursing a "profound hatred of US citizens" plotting to bomb civilian and military jets.The force of the planned explosions would have been worse than the train bombings in Madrid and the Tube and bus attacks in London on 7 July, 2005, according to German security sources. Those attacks killed 191 and 52 people respectively.
Three men aged 22, 28 and 29 have been arrested in Germany days before they planned to strike, and bomb-making equipment and explosives have been seized.

There is No Al-Qaeda link phrolen. I have published the full report from Deutche Wella. The Denmark event seems to have evaporated. The suspects have been released.
The Plot was directly funded by Business men from the Presian Gulf.

Yes sth Pacific, there is, one of the bombers trained at an Al Qaeda camp in Pakistan.

Sure Pacific no Al-Qaeda here keep moving. You should maybe consider doing legal work for them. I haven't seen a better mouthpiece for them this side of a cave in Pakistan.

That had more bearing on the story than the pic of Bin-Laden. You need to realise phrolen that outside nth America Al-Qaeda is recognised as an American organisation. That is how it is usually reported. With a reference to Ronald Reagan or the fact it was created by the CIA to fight the USSR. Whenever you make unsubstantiated allecations like this you make yourself look bias and the rest of the American public look stupid. That is how it is. If only you spoke Dutch or French, you would never have posted this.
Most mainstream media outlets in Europe would find this amusing. as they are looking at the Saudi connections to this and just to add none of them were trained in an Al-Qaeda base. There is no mention of Al-Qaeda being connected to this at all. Any attempt to connect it to that organization is pure spin.
So please phrolen leave this type of reporting to the fools. you can do much better. The reason for that pic was to stop some Idiot flaging it as good stuff.
