...from America's Criminal Investigation Command (CID), police nabbed the pair on suspicion of plotting to bomb a U.S. military base near Heidelberg. After searching the couple's apartment, investigators found five rudimentary pipe bombs, raw material for 18 kilos of explosive powder, and a portrait of Osama bin Laden. Petmezci and Eyzaguirre are now in custody, awaiting trial. Another victory for German law enforcement? Not quite. CID's Aug. 29 warning wasn't the first call from CID, but the third. The first call was delivered on July 17; another was made on July...

Movsar was close not only to his uncle Arbi but also to Khattab, the late Saudi-born guerrilla commander who U.S. officials claim represented Osama bin Laden in Chechnya. In an interview with the BBC, one of Movsar's men denied any link to al-Qaeda. Still, Movsar seemed to embrace that group's concept of martyrdom.
