On the other hand he'd be good deathlist material if he still survives. EDIT: Now I'm 99% sure it's just a hoax. Baghdadi died in an Israeli hospital in the occupied Golan Heights where he had been hospitalized for treatment after sustaining severe injuries during a joint attack of the Iraqi army and popular forces.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted May 1, 2015 http://www.euronews.com/2015/05/01/frankfurt-may-day-cycle-race-cancelled-after-terror-threat/ Erm..... terrorists threatened to bomb a cycle race in Frankfurt. And even though the culprit was arrested before he could attack they still cancelled the race anyway. It'll be "back next year" apparently. (I think that statement is more about trying to kid themselves their country will still be recognisable by this time next year than anything else. I mean if you have a policy of cancelling everything and staying indoors every time some fucking medieval mong makes a half-arsed plot.) And these are supposed to be the "most logical" people and Europe, and it's supposedly the "strongest" country in Europe....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And these are supposed to be the "most logical" people and Europe, and it's supposedly the "strongest" country in Europe....... Here's a conspiracy theory: In Germany, the impact of the Edward Snowden revelations never stopped. Last week, it was revealed that our german secret service, the BND, supported the American NSA in their spying on other european politicians and especially France. It is possible that the BND even helped the NSA with spying on Germany's own companies. The background of this is that, since World War II, modern Germany has been a construct of American "nation building" and Germany (like many other countries) has been a bit of a vasall of the USA since then. Now, there are lots of angry voices demanding reforms of our secret service, and an end of support to American secret services in their endless fight against terror (which might be a disguise for spying on german companies). It could be that this timely revelation of a prevented terror attack is just a charade to remind people how important the secret service and the fight against terror is. Maybe they are going to claim that American help was very helpful here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted May 1, 2015 That's the problem with these stories. They say: look, our secret police did their job, they prevented an attack. They're worth every tax Euro you pay. You have to believe us, 'cause we say so. We won't show evidence, 'cause that would expose our methods. It may be true. Unfortunately, they'd say the same when they'd been using their agents to spy on their citizens, or been playing Minesweeper all the time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the report you linked to I glean a horrible attrition rate. regards, Hein Indeed! He'll probably get an obituary as well, if nr.4 gets one here as well... Assad Uzzaman's death appears to have been confirmed. Sadly, not much in the way of detail here, for example we don't know if he died in 2015, so might not get the DDP points, but I'll leave it to TMIB. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/11763428/Last-of-the-Portsmouth-jihadists-killed-in-Syria.html 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
