Germany arrests two in terror plot linked to U S attacks
A 25 year old Turkish man and his 23 year old fiancee were arrested in Germany over a planned attack tied to the September 11 assaults on Washington and New York. Authorities say the case may be isolated and involve a small network or lone actors. The pair reportedly harbored anti Jewish views, and worked in a Karlsruhe chemical warehouse and a Heidelberg supermarket. U S officials noted a rise in chatter but cautioned it signals concern rather than an imminent threat.
