Amazing when you think about it that a German policeman was getting training on how to stop terrorism from an Israeli. Too bad so many of the Germans decided terrorism is best stopped by ignoring it.

Different people were running Germany in 1972.

Now, it wouldn't surprise me if the Germans reacted to a Madrid-style attack just as the Spanish did.

In this case the next reports will most likely be that U.S. actions drove the Iraqis to attack the convoy. It's Bush's fault.

Latest update on "Spiegel" now says that Germany's n-tv is reporting that an Iraqi paper has published pictures of the two missing persons, although the reporter himself hasn't ssen them. The paper (I am assuming they mean the Iraqi paper) says the Germans are being held by an Iraqi resistance group.

The Germany embassy in Iraq has advised all Germans to use extreme caution and to leave Iraq.

So, according to this report, they were kidnapped.
