Terrorist Attack In Germany

CNN, ABC, UPI, and a host of other "NEWS" organizations breathlessly reported today,

"A U.S. official says investigators have uncovered a terrorist plot to use bombs and small arms against U.S. facilities in Germany ... source described as a senior official told CNN there was a "very real threat" in Germany, possibly coming from a group affiliated with al-Qaida."

We report this from a 3 week old Warden Message issued by the American Embassy in Berlin.
