No surprise there. "Germany says terror plot may be wider," by Alexander G. Higgins for the Associated Press:
BERLIN - Three Islamic terror suspects arrested on suspicion of planning massive bombings in Germany may have been part of a larger network involving up to 50 people, an official said Saturday.
The three, arrested Tuesday in a raid on a vacation residence in central Germany, had allegedly stockpiled enough hydrogen peroxide to build bombs more powerful than those that killed 191 commuters in Madrid in 2004 and 52 in London in 2005. Officials said all three attended terror training camps in Pakistan last year.
German authorities believe two German converts and a Turk were only the leading tip of the planning, said Petra Kneuer, spokeswoman for the Federal Prosecutor's Office.
She said authorities were investigating seven more suspects inside and outside Germany as part of what could be a larger network, and that reports that about 50 people may be involved are "not unrealistic."
The two German suspects have been identified as Fritz Martin Gelowicz, 28, described as the leader of an Islamic Jihad Union terror cell in Germany, and Daniel Martin Schneider, 22. The third man has been identified as Adem Yilmaz, 29, born in Turkey but living in Germany.

OK
Which mosques and radical preachers are in this plotting? Behind every violent Jihad act in the West there are mosques that are accommodating places for Jihadists

Think they'll uncover many Hindus among those 50?
Naturally, German politicians will want to import more Muslims into their country.

Good work so far, Germans. Now treat the death cult the way you do the "scientology" loons & you'll be on the road to sucess!

Well, at least we have a clue now as to why OBL has darker hair: These guys stockpiled so much peroxide that he was forced to use Grecean Formula. Otherwise we would have been invited to to Islam by an aging terrorist surfer.

Yes, unfortunately they JUST DO NOT GET IT!!! Looks like no sane person runs for office anymore..
A tiny minority of 50 jihadists for JUST this ONE plot!
The cost in manhours/surveillance is staggering..
..but the band plays on..
And let's not forget the attack on American GIs in Berlin back in the 90s.. that was moslems too!!
NOONE ever wanted to hear it whenever I pointed out that these acts were committed by moslems.
They ARE ALWAYS COMMITTED BY moslems!!!

6% down, 94% more to go. It's a start I guess.

"up to 50"?
May as well add about 7 zeros behind that number considering the deafening silence of their peers, but...ok, it's a start.
