From ABCNews -- A gunman shouting "Allah Akbar" opened fire on a bus carrying U.S. airmen in Frankfurt, Germany, killing two and wounding two others before his gun jammed and he was subdued, officials said.
An ethnic Albanian from Kosovo was taken into custody and the FBI was heading an investigation because U.S. citizens were killed and to determine whether the shooting was an act of terrorism.
President Obama made an unscheduled appearance to say, "I am saddened and I am outraged by this attack" and U.S. investigators would work with German authorities and "spare no effort" to ensure that "all of the perpetrators are brought to justice."
I just got through watching Obama's press conference and neither he nor ABC news made any mention of the shooter yelling "Allah Akbar" as he fired his weapon. I'll bet he makes no mention of it in the next few days other than to "caution against rushes to judgement until all the information is in" and "the acts of one man should not impugn an entire religion", that sort of crap. And Jay Carney will studiously avoid mentioning it in the next few days, even under direct questioning. Why is this administration loathe to lay blame where it belongs? Why is Obama a strident radical-Islam defender, even in the face of evidence like this?

This shooter is reported to be from Kosovo, where only 12 years ago American airmen, like the ones he murdered, flew missions to save Kosovar Muslims from the genocidal Serbs under Milosevic. Truly sad.
Almost makes you wonder if they(Muslims) were worth saving from ethnic cleansing. I thought it then, and I still think that the moribund Eurotrash should have taken care of this, not us.
RIP, SrA Nicholas J Alden, 25 of Williamston, SC and A1C Zachary R. Cuddleback, 21 of Stanardsville, VA. You deserved better than this.
I hope they are classified as KIA and awarded Purple Hearts. They were killed by the enemy.
Obummer is calling this a Giffords-like attack and refusing to call it Islamic terrorism. These guys might not be considered KIA because of that. Regardless of how it's classified, these guys died because of their uniform, that qualifies them as KIA in my book. Obama is just running cover for Muslims....again.
My cousins lived in Williamston, about 25 miles from us while I was growing up. Been there many times. Also, being a fellow Airman whose been on those buses, this hits close to home.
