LINK[blockquote]A top security official says the suspect in the murder of two U.S. airmen at the Frankfurt airport has confessed to targeting the U.S. military and
says he acted alone.Hesse Interior Minister Boris Rhein told reporters Thursday in Wiesbaden the suspect, identified as a 21-year-old ethnic Albanian from Kosovo,
was apparently radicalized over the last few weeks by looking at Islamist websites in Germany, reports say.
Rhein says that the investigation indicates that he acted alone and did not belong to a terrorist network or terrorist cell, but German federal prosecutors say the attack appears to have been motivated by Islamic extremism.
Prosecutors said in a statement Thursday that "because of the circumstances
there is a SUSPICION that it was an Islamist motivated act."
The federal prosecutors office took over the case from local officials early in the day and are working with Frankfurt and federal police, as well as American investigators.[/blockquote]
Alone?
Where did he get the gun?
Where did he get the ammunition?
Where did he get the training to use the gun?
Where did he get the information as to the schedule of the bus?
This idea just sprang unbidden into his little pea brain and the gun and ammo just dropped into his hands? In Germany? Sure. Happens all the time. That's why we are always hearing about how lax the gun laws in Germany and the EU are. That's why they have all those shootings and armed robberies going on in Frankfurt.
The guy is 21-years-old...the war in Kosovo has been over for, oh, I don't know...well over a decade. So this guy just gets a gun and toddles down to the nearest Frankfurt shooting range (because they are as common as biertgartens) and learns everything he needs to know about how to shoot people. It isn't easy, regardless of how it is portrayed on television and in the movies, to just start shooting people. You have to have some practice at operating a gun before you can do it "live" and under pressure.
So, yeah, he acted alone. Sure. He was just sitting at the breakfast table that morning, eating a bowl of Al Queda Crispies, and thought, "Gee, I think this would be a great day to go shoot some Americans down at the airport. Now, where did I leave my assault rifle and ammo?"
Yeah, I'm guessing those Somali pirates learned everything they needed to know about piracy from watching a video on Youtube, too, 'cause that darn Internet just makes ordinary people go bugf**k apesh*t crazy.
And how brave of German authorities to go out on a limb and state that they
suspect it just might be vaguely sort of related to islam. They might even be pretty sure that a gun was involved although they don't say.
Oh, and BTW, how's that multicultural lax immigration policy working out for you krauts? Everything going okay? Any problems?
