| German Islamist terrorist confesses and blames fake jihad rape video for inspiring his crime |
| 2011-08-31 |
| In an emotional confession to a Frankfurt court as his murder trial began on Wednesday, Arid Uka said he had become radicalised by online extremist propaganda before carrying out a lone gun attack US Air Force bus in March. “What I did was wrong, but I cannot undo what I did,” he said. Uka blamed a video purporting to show American servicemen raping a young Muslim girl for prompting him to try and stop other US soldiers from getting to Afghanistan. “I thought what I saw in that video, these people would do in Afghanistan,” he told the court. But the rape footage, billed as an authentic video entitled “what was done to our sisters,” turned out to be a fake using footage scene from the 2007 anti-Iraq war film “Redacted,” directed by Hollywood’s Brian de Palma. |
