#1 GSG-9 in Algeria without the U.N. permission? How Dares Germany to act unilaterally ? Send Blix to see if really there are tourists.
The whole story has been invented by the CowBoy Schroeder. Truth is , he wants the Algerian oil.

#2 Worked with the BGS/GSG back in the mid-late 1980's - those Grenze SchutzGreandiers were damn good troops. Don't underestimate what GSG Detachment 9 is capable of. They trained and interoperated with US 10 Group Special Forces, and I heard rumors they trained regularly with US Delta Force.

#4 I thought GSG-9 didn't do foreign jobs anymore. Don't they have some other group that does that now?
