Just a tiny information from a trial in Hamburg, Germany from today. It may look like thread creep at first but it isn't:

In Hamburg, there is now the first trial in Germany against helpers of the terrorists from September, 11th. You recollect that death pilots Atta, Alshehhi, Jarrah came from Hamburg? Now one man, Motassadeq, who the state attorney considers a helper is on trial.

Today, Motassadeq was questioned and said that the above mentioned Arabs had in 1999 considered to go to Chechenya to fight there against the Russians as revenge for the massacres the Russians had committed. They did train in Afghanistan for that fight but he says he doesn't know who (or what) changed their minds.
