Big German Terror Bust

Have you noticed all the terror busts in the past few days? Arrests in Norway. In Denmark.

And now, one in Germany:

FRANKFURT, Sept. 5 — The police in Germany
have arrested three Islamic militants suspected of planning major terrorist
attacks against several sites frequented by Americans, including the busy United
States air base at Ramstein and the Frankfurt international airport.

The suspects — two German citizens and a Turkish resident of Germany — were
in advanced stages of plotting bombing attacks that could have been deadlier
than the terrorist strikes that killed dozens in London and Madrid, police and
security officials said Wednesday.

“They were planning massive attacks,” the German federal prosecutor,
Monika Harms, said at a news conference, outlining a vast six-month
investigation. She said that the suspects had amassed huge amounts of hydrogen
peroxide, the main chemical used to manufacture the explosives used in the
suicide bombings in London in July 2005.
