For anybody knowing the German justice system, it is obvious that this has no relation with the Osthoff hostage case (because of the usual imprisonment for murder).

It was an early release and Ostoff was released just three days later. Coincidence? BS. Clearly there were negoitiations between the terrorists and the German government.

If you recall, on October 29, 1972 a German Lufthansa jet was hijacked and demands were made for the release of the three Black September members being held for trial for the Munich massacre. The men were subsequently released by Germany. Some commentators suspect that the German government released the terrorists to avoid the embarrassment of having to deal with them.

Duh!!!!thanks,,,lol

[Michael81Dus]

Early release? Surely not!! 19 years imprisonment is years above the average for the crimes Hammadi committed!!

[Michael81Dus]

LOL, yeah, thanks! :-)

The way we handle these cases are not much different handled in all other EU countries. Often, one thinks it is ok that even murderers get a 2nd chance (I mean, mercy is a Christian value), but often enough it makes me sick seeing the scumbags walking out of prison.

Just quoting the article.

Mohammad Ali Hammadi last Thursday left his prison in North-Rhine Westphalia after a parole board and psychologists decided he was eligible for early release.

I agree, I'm not big on boycotts (except France) but I think we ought to think about one, because we should expect a degree of collegiality and cooperation at the professional law enforcement level with Germany. We didn't get that. As Churchill famously observed the problem with the Germans is that they are either at your throat or at your heel. It seems the terrorists have taken the measure of Germany and brought them firmly to heel.

Michael, you are sooooo wrong. This is not just a horrible coincidence, it was planned and part of the bargain to get the german woman back. It also cost german taxpayers (and the soldiers in Iraq) a pretty pfenning. (wink, wink).
