Suspect admits targeting US soldiers
A man arrested on suspicion of killing two US airmen at Frankfurt Airport yesterday has confessed to targeting US military members, according to a German security official today.

A Pentagon spokesperson said that the four military men involved in yesterday's shooting were en route from their base in Britain to Afghanistan. The Pentagon also said that one of the key aspects of the investigation into yesterday's shooting is whether the shooter acted alone or had assistance.

German authorities say their investigation has so far concluded that he acted alone, but added that "there are signs that this is about a radicalised Muslim".

Arid Uka's neighbours in Frankfurt said they were shocked at the incident and described him as someone who kept to himself, but didn't seem unfriendly.
Ah, a "loner", a "quiet man"...
"Misunderstood..."

Gee. What gave it away? The fact that he was willing to shoot?

Flashback 2007: Gadhafi Junior's Nightclub Brawl/German-Libyan Diplomatic Relations Strained
Background on the Gaddafi clan. I wasn't aware of this incident before I googled 'Seif Al-Arab'.
Note that in early 2007 Gaddafi backed down, and didn't escalate.
A year later the Hannibal Gaddafi arrest in Geneva led to a major confrontation. By then Gaddafi had understood that he'd get away with nearly everything, and Switzerland was a smaller adversary in the first place.

The dresses notwithstanding Gaddafi is not a loon, he's a rational explorative aggressor, always carefully probing for weakness and submission.
