Score one for the good guys in Europe:
Scores of special police officers raided at least nine sites in southern Germany and Belgium on Tuesday after what the German authorities said was a tip about an Islamist plot involving two men of Tunisian origin who were planning to stage terrorist attacks involving explosives and remote-controlled model airplanes.
Separately, the French authorities detained nine people in raids on Monday and Tuesday, security officials said. The nine were suspected of plotting acts of Islamic terrorism in France or of having ties to jihadist networks.
I'm sure that the jihadis hoped to use the model airplanes as little cruise missiles by diving them into a crowd, or something. I have no idea if they can carry a reasonable payload to make it worth it. It's possible their plan didn't come anywhere near to matching their hate.
Still. I imagine the global left is more likely to say we deserve this after our own drone use; rather than condemning the jihadis, too.
I wonder if the raid was accelerated out of fear that Snowden's NSA revelations would cause the suspects to scatter and flee?
