German prosecutors demand 5 years for suspect
2003-11-20
German prosecutors on Wednesday demanded a five-year jail term for a Jordanian man suspected of plotting attacks on Jewish targets, saying that only his arrest had prevented them being carried out. In summing up, federal prosecutor Dirk Fernholz said he had asked for half the maximum sentence of 10 years because the accused had provided “an abundance of detail” about Al-Tawhid group and its operations.
Boy, I'd like to read that report...
Shadi Mohammad Mustafa Abdullah stands accused of belonging to Al-Tawhid and plotting attacks on two Jewish restaurants in the city of Duesseldorf and a Jewish community centre in Berlin. He is also charged with passport forgery.
They all do that...
German and US intelligence experts say there have been close links between it and Al Qaeda network.
Do tell? Who'da thunkit?
During his trial, Abdullah has said that he planned the attacks in Germany and served for a time as Bin Laden's bodyguard. Doubts have been cast on whether his testimony could be believed. But the prosecution said his evidence had been “for the most part reliable.” Fernholz said the suspect's plans would have had terrible consequences. “The planning had certainly reached more than the preliminary stage,” he said. Abdullah's task in the operation had been to “find appropriate targets and procure weapons,” said public prosecutor Christian Monka in his summary.

#2  "Salaam, may I help you?"
Yeah, I'm Shadi Mohammad Mustafa Abdullah, and I'm here for my 72 virgins.
"Do you have an appointment?"
Naa, I just boomed a Jooish restaurant in Heidelberg.
"I see. Mr. Abdullah, I don't have any record of your being one of our people."
Oh, wait, that's not my real name! My real name is Walid al-Saqqaf al Ghamdi. That other name is just the one I use on my Infidel passport.
"Oh, I see... I think. One moment, please.

"I'm sorry, sir, but there's no record of that name, either."
But, but... oh, wait. I think my mother named me something else when I was born. Give me a minute, let me think.
"Uh, sir. You're holding up the line."
Just give me a minute, I'm sure I'll remember my real name...
"Sorry, sir, we really need to get on with this... NEXT!"
But, but...
"Boss, 'nother Arab moron can't remember his real name, what should I do?"
"Standard procedure, my son, is to send him back as a Jew..."
