Germany (catch all, incl. terrorism)

[Old Eagle]

Yeah, Carlos did his thing, but there were later attacks by the RAF and a guest appearance by PFLP-GC (as I recall) at the El Al counter at the aprt. In fact, last time I lived there, the Austrian police ended up killing a RAF alumnus and wounding another. The former terror pair tried to knock over a store or bank and ended up in a shoot out.

Been following this issue in various Austrian sources. It is absolutely unclear exactly what is going on. Guess we'll have to let it play itself out a little further.

An update on the attack at Frankfurt airport, March 2010:

A Kosovo man has told a German court he shot dead two American servicemen at Frankfurt airport but said he did not understand why he had acted as he did....

"What I did was wrong, but I cannot undo what I did," Uka told the court in Frankfurt at the opening of his trial. Uka said he carried out the attack after watching a video purporting to show US servicemen raping a Muslim girl in Iraq.

In fact, the video was a scene from Brian De Palma's anti-war film, Redacted.

"I thought what I saw in that video, these people would do in Afghanistan," Uka said.

A strange case of a 'Lone Wolf' attacker, although maybe not so unexpected given all the propaganda in the public domain.
