Apparently there was some sort of altercation in front of the bus just before the shooting.  the shooter shouted the usual alah akbar stuff as he did his killing.  Our service people need to be constantly on the alert for this stuff.  God rest their souls.

Here is another article about it. This is the second one I have seen on Yahoo but this one is very different from the first. The first author went out of his way to say it was anything but a terrorist act. The second article now indicates the suspect is a German born muslim.

Thoughts and prayers to the families of those killed and injured by this coward.

Sad news :(

I know that airport well..

I was stationed in Baden in the late 80's early 90's.

My heart goes out to their families.

It would be interesting if this turned out to be some kind of terrorist attack considering that the US supports the independence of Kosovo...
