Germans Bust Terrorist Online

I'm fairly interested since some of our reader love mail on this thread traced back to Germany. Not Hamburg specifically but..

CNN: German police arrested Redouane E.H., 36, on Thursday in the northern German city of Hamburg, according to a statement on the prosecutor's Web site. The suspect is from the nearby town of Kiel, where police searched several homes before his arrest.

He was nabbed after German investigators monitored his online chats.

Coincidence probably, but still very very satifying.
The suspect was remanded to federal custody Friday after a court appearance in Karlsruhe.

He is accused of having numerous contacts with international terrorists in Syria, Algeria and Iraq. According to the prosecutor's office, he completed an explosives training course in Algeria in November and has ties to the Hamburg al Qaeda cell that included September 11 hijackers Mohamed Atta, Marwan el-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah.

Also see The Security Watchtower. Who knows? Maybe we can tease a few more into exposing themselves.
