| Two more arrests in Heidelberg... |
| 2002-09-09 |
| Two ethnic Albanian men, one of them another Army and Air Force Exchange Service employee who has worked as a barber at the U.S. facility in Heidelberg for seven years, were hauled away by German police after U.S. Criminal Investigation Command agents arrested them Friday afternoon. U.S. officials have remained tight-lipped about the case, referring all questions to German authorities. While German police say the two sets of arrests are not related, they have so far not released any details on why the two ethnic Albanian men were apprehended.âThey say itâs not connected, but I donât believe it,â said one soldier who witnessed the arrest. âThey evacuated the whole building in a big hurry. They were worried something was going to happen.â The arrests could very well be unrelated. Evacuating the building would seem to imply that there was more than, say, stealing from the petty cash drawer involved. But it looks like the powers that be might be afraid of causing a panic, so they're disseminating as little info as they can â which is probably a pretty good way to cause a panic. Thanx to Steve for the headzup! |
