Qaeda tells Germany to change government

Source: AFP

18 September 2009,
NICOSIA - Al Qaeda warned Germans on Friday to change their government in the September 27 election, saying they will face a ‘bad awakening’ if they do not, according to two intelligence monitoring services.

Germany was also told to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan or face attacks at home, the US-based monitoring groups said.

3. Haha, even the far-left party has retreated from its "immediate pullout" position

The political landscape in Germany is changing and NOBODY can surely predict any outcome in this election.

If the United States is left alone in Afghanistan, Mr. Brzezinski said Friday night, “that would probably spell the end of the Alliance.”
