3/2/11, "Gunman Shouting 'Allahu Akbar' Kills 2 US Airmen in Germany," ABC News, Martinez and Esposito
"A gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar" opened fire on a bus carrying U.S. airmen in Frankfurt, Germany, killing two and wounding two others before
- his gun jammed and he was subdued, officials said.
Sources told ABC News that the victims were on a bus at Frankfurt airport. The bus was marked United States Air Force and was carrying 13 or 14 people, plus the driver. U.S. intelligence is trying to determine whether the shooting occurred while the gunman was on the bus or while he was trying to board the bus.
When he opened fire, the gunman, identified as a long-term resident of Germany,
- shouted "Allahu Akbar,"
according to sources. He fired nine times, killling two and critically wounding two others before the gun jammed and he was subdued by other passengers. While being wrestled into submission, the suspect shouted either
- "Jihad Jihad" or "Allahu Akbar," sources said.
One of the dead was the bus driver, military officials said.
The servicemembers who were attacked were members of a Security Forces team assigned to RAF Lakenheath in Great Britain. They were being transported to Ramstein Airbase and were en route
- to support Overseas Contingency Operations, although their exact destination was not stated.
Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., said at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing today that the shooting looks like it could be a terrorist attack. Meehan said he was briefed by his staff, who are continuing to collect information.
The gunman was identifed by sources to ABC News as Arid Uka, although other spellings give his name as Arif Uka. Although he has lived in Germany for years, he is a citizen of Kosovo and his family is from the northern town of Mitrovica....
The names of the deceased are being withheld until 24 hours after notification of next of kin."

The NY Times doesn't want to say the words, "Allahu Akbar," so they report words "God is great" were said "in Arabic." Anything to keep Americans from knowing their enemy. In a report (below) about the Ft. Hood mass murderer, the NY Times makes no connection between the words Allahu Akbar and the motivation of the killer. Today they want us to be free to imagine the killer is Episcopalian.
On 3/2/11 Frankfurt killings via NY Times:
"…The suspected gunman, who is in custody, is 21-year-old Kosovar who lives in Frankfurt, according to a city police spokesman, Manfred Füllhardt.
A man whose office is near the site of the shooting said it was an area where buses load arriving passengers. Speaking on condition of anonymity to protect his business, he said witnesses told him that the gunman first talked to the military personnel to find out who they were and then opened fire,
- shouting “God is great” in Arabic."...
When Islamist Hassan murdered 13 unarmed fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood and wounded many others, witnesses reported he yelled, 'Allahu Akbar." After hearing this reported numerous times at a 10/15/10 hearing, the NY Times refused to see a connection between the words and the Islamist murderer's crime.
An encyclopedia of evidence exists as to why Hasan committed mass murder, including complicity of our military, but the NY Times sees none, that we have no clues and Hasan is an "enigma." The Times does not want Americans to make use of available evidence to prevent future mass murders.
10/17/10, "And yet the New York Times has no idea what might have been Hasan’s motive:
NY Times: "A parade of prosecution witnesses — many of them still struggling with their wounds — provided a gripping, almost cinematic account of the attack in which 13 people died and dozens were wounded.
Yet the gunman and his motive remain an enigma....Over three days, more than two dozen witnesses at the hearing described how Major Hasan shouted “Allahu akbar!” and then opened fire with a laser-guided handgun at a crowd of soldiers as they waited to see medical staff members before deployment. He gunned down one man who tried to hit him with a chair and chased another soldier out of the building to shoot him, witnesses said. "...
(Translation: The killer shouted 'Allahu Akbar' but the NY Times doesn't want evil Americans to know that. It might help them define their enemy.)
