More on the German plot
According to today's report in German news, the plotters had orders to act on September 15th (that is, after everybody would be calm, saying, well, on September 11st, nothing has happened..).
Also the German police is worried about the characteristics of the plotters, as two of them are white converts. Guenther Bernstein, Interior Minister, said on Tuesday “Germans converting to Islam should be watched because they tend to show particular fanaticism in order to prove worthy of their new religion,”. (This is not new: the guards watching non-converts in the Middle Ages in Islamic prisons, were normally converts, who were specially cruel with them).
Specially dedicated to all those who are everyday groaning about Governments' intercepting communications, US intercepted key data related to the plot in Pakistan. Also Germany used sophisticated eavesdropping equipment for months till they were able to detain the suspects.
