#1 German weekly Focus sayz one of the suspects looks Indonesian an might be linked to The Netherlands. A number of Indonesian extremists seems to be living there. German authorities will expand the search to this group.

#3 The Netherlands did used to own Indonesia, after all. They brought back lots of cooks and such (who later brought all their friends and relations, of course) when they decolonized.

#5 A bomb on a train in the Rhine Gorge would probably close everything on one side of the river for hours, if not days. There are some places along the river where there's barely room for the rail line and a road. Since the bombs were found in Dortmund and Koblenz, it's more likely that segment (from Koblenz to Dortmund) was targeted, where the areas are a little flatter and the Rhine riverbed runs through rolling hills. Glad it didn't work - I've ridden the trains through that area several times.

#6 For all that's worth, bombs made fom gas canisters - filled up with liquid explosives, and possibly shrapnels (? The french police had a detail about nails and bolts given to the msm, along with phony sketches, so it would focus on it and let them work alone) - was what the gia used in the 1995 Paris subway bombing wave.

#8 German train bombs may have terrorist link

The Arabic shopping list they found in one of the suitcases was a dead giveaway.

#11 Right, 6 - it's a Norfolk & Western (US) Class J 4-8-4. I believe one of them still runs today, and that might be its' picture. Very near the pinnicle of steam locomotive technology.
