We Are Not Alone

"Germany Boosts Terrorism Alert"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/09/18/germany.alqaeda/index.html

Being an American, consumed mostly by American news, I've only ever heard of terrorism video threats directed toward the United States. However, we are not the only country in the world dealing with threats from al Queda. After an internet video threat from al Queda this past Friday, Germany has boosted their terrorism security alert in fear of a possible attack. The video promises a "rude awakening" if the German people do not vote a political party into power that will pledge to remove German troops from Afghanistan. This being just one of a growing number of threats toward the German people in recent months, the nation is taking no chances with increased security measures at airports and the like around the country. Now the question remains, how will the German people react on election day? Will this dramatically impact voting trends around the country? The answers will have to wait the election, just over a week away on September 27th.
