Hostage situation in berlin

[Longinius 1]

There is some kind of hostage situation in the Iraqi embassy in Berlin going on right now. Found a notice about it in Swedish media. Checking other sites now...

http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,2789,195949,00.html

CNN has news on it too...

Unfortunately, this little stunt will only end in a couple of dead terrorists, or at least a couple of embarassed arrested terrorists. Ultimately, useless.

Naa the problem is that they whanna make a statment. Wich is that they support an attak on Irak wich Europe dosen't.

that really leads to nothing...damn terrorists... do they really think they can take some hostages in the iraqi embassy in berlin( germany.... half the globe away from bagdad) and then saddam would say... ok guys ...thats too hard for me ..you won??? thats really embarrasing.. and in the end the GSG9 has to solve it

[ralphwiggum 6]

terrorism will eventually backfire...what the hel are they thinking?

[B@ZOOkA 0]

and if it doesnt .... GSG9 will make them backfire

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

That was all? What kind of opposition is this? No shooting? How embarassing? I guess again some teenies that are too much into CS!

I hear that German Police are blaming Israeli and US special forces for the occupation of the Embassy.

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

Thats why we are germans! Always blame others for our misery

Why shoot people that are "dangerously armed" with an axe, electro shockers and 2 imitation pistols Wasn't a real hostage situation anyway, they just wanted to talk.

It is because of the gun-laws. This is all they could get!

I was kind of dissapointed too, why do we pay and train the GSG9 elite forces if our terorists have all retired. What a kindergarden was that yesterday. The problem is that basically everyone nowadays is called terrorist! And in our mind a terorist has a beard, an old VW-minivan and a Panzerfaust. (well and a fashionable multipurpose belt).

lol the terrorist were students from iraq at the berlin university. they were poor armed with some kind of gas. (maybe stolen from the university) i don't think they were fanatics. they just wanted to show that the exist and what they stand for. they were unknown untill this incident.

They must be mad enough to rush into an iraqui embassy! I guess their families back in Iraq will soon have an invitation to a couzy interrogation by the Iraqui secret service.
