Germany foils Jihadist bomb plot By Jeffrey Imm

Media sources have reported today that German police have arrested 3 Jihadists involved in the final stages of an "imminent" bomb plot. The International Herald Tribune reports that the plot was to be "against several sites frequented by Americans, including the busy United States air base at Ramstein and the Frankfurt international airport".

The Jihadists are reported to be two Germans and one Turk. AP reports that officials said that the "three suspects -- two Germans, ages 22 and 28, who converted to Islam, and a 29-year-old Turk -- first came to the attention of authorities because they had been caught observing a U.S. military facility in Hanau, near Frankfurt, at the end of 2006". Der Spiegel reports the men as "Daniel S. from the state of Saarland and Fritz G. from Neu-Ulm in Bavaria... [and].. Adem Y., who is believed to be from Turkey".
