Frankfurt attack was 'Afghanistan revenge'
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110304/wl_afp/germanyuskosovoattacksafghanistan

BERLIN (AFP) – A suspected Islamist radical accused of shooting dead two US servicemen at Frankfurt Airport did so in revenge for the US mission in Afghanistan, German prosecutors said Friday.

...

The shooter "saw a video on the Internet portal YouTube the day before the act," Griesbaum said.

"In this video, American soldiers apparently raided a Muslim house and raped the daughter of the family," he added.

3. It's called blowback. Watch for more, unfortunately. Especially from
Pakistan and Afghanistan.
