| At least eight al-Qaeda militants - some of whom were German nationals - have been killed in a drone attack in Pakistan, officials have told the BBC. Once again, this was in North Wazoo, near Mir Ali. The 'Germans' were probably Turks originally. |

| #17 In this context, R/C means radio controlled (as of a remote controlled airplane). In a sense, a Predator is just a BIG R/C airplane. |

| #14 I believe R/C stands for remote control, tw. As in remote control airplanes. |

| #12 I got an e-mail that one of our R/C club members is coming home from the 'stans for Monster planes in Lakeland, Fl this coming weekend. Guess his boss said, "If you catch up on your work you can take time off." |

| #11 who would have thunk that Lederhosen wearing Germans would be enaged in such mischief. There was that flood, Jack, and leather shrinks when wet, I've heard... that would make even a Christian saint cross. |

| #9 Well, today was the last day of Oktoberfest. I guess that wasn't the target. |

| #6 And the others may be starting to have serious second thoughts. (That is if their masters let them know anything about it at all). |

| #5 Euro-jihadiÂ’s favorite SUV? Range-Roaster! (As opposed to the cheap Ford Exploders, Nissan Path-Flamers, and Toyota Land-Spatters favored by less nuanced terrorists) |

| #2 Let us hope these are the Germans who were planning the Mumbai-style attacks in Europe. |

| #1 From Times Of India. It looks like all eight were German nationals, as well as the two injured. US drone strike kills 8 German militants in Pakistan Eight militants with German nationality were killed while two sustained critical injuries, sources said. The dead militants belonged to Jehad Al-Islami, they added. The sources said 90 per cent of foreign fighters in the tribal belt are members of this group. The group mostly operates in Afghanistan and its members visit the tribal belt to rest and regroup. |
