It'll get worse before it gets better. While others run around as if there is nothing to worry about, I'll be with the crowd that has some ammo and food stashed.


With you there, brother.

With you there.

This is going to be embarrassing for you, but yes it can happen, IF Germany will allow it, but based on their mind set they won't. But hey it happened in Somalia and Yemen as well with permission, just like Pakistan. You wonder how we are able to get such good intel. Couldn't be the Pakistanis? Naaaaaaah! Ain't so childish eh? And if not drones then perhaps another way, Germany could go arrest them in their own soil if they deem it more convenient than drones.

This one is confusing to me, I really dont know if it is as you say or some other reason and a catalyst for something else, I guess if it just drops, then you were probably right. Maybe they thought they were cia?

According to CNN, the guy that was captured, told on his fellow suicide bombers by name.

And the drones were able to find at least one of those particular named individuals in Pakistan and delete him.


One member of the Hamburg group - Ahmed Sidiqi, a German Afghan, was detained in Kabul in July and is said to have revealed details about the al Qaeda plot against Europe while under interrogation

According to a European counterterrorism official, Sidiqi claimed that Dashti would return to Europe as a "foot soldier" in the attack,



A jihadist from Hamburg suspected of being part of an al Qaeda plot against Europe was killed by a drone strike in northwest Pakistan this week, according to a statement Thursday on a Turkish-language jihadist website.

The website said a fighter named Abu Askar al-Almani and three other Jihadists had been "martyred" by the missile strike against a base in Waziristan, where German and Tajik fighters were living. German officials say al-Almani is the nom de guerre of Shahab Dashti, an Iranian-German who left Hamburg, Germany,

images of al-Almani first appeared in October 2009 in a German-language recruitment video released by the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which has close links to al Qaeda. Dashti joined the movement after arriving in Pakistan, German intelligence officials tell CNN.
