Germany hunting 10 men [support cell/s] behind attack plot
German authorities are searching for 10 men they believe provided support for a foiled plot to attack US targets on German territory. German prosecutors have charged the three suspected Islamists - two Germans and Turk - with belonging to a terrorist organisation after security forces prevented what they said would have been "massive bomb attacks". Possible targets included US military bases, bars and discos frequented by Americans and Frankfurt airport.A senior official at the Interior Ministry said the three arrested men had backers at home and abroad who were still being tracked. All three terror suspects had trained in militant camps in Pakistan before forming a domestic cell of the "Islamic Jihad Union" -- a little known al Qaeda-affiliated Sunni Muslim group with roots in Uzbekistan.
