THE CARS ARE PROBABLY WELL MADE AND FAST - AT 7:16 P.M. ET:  A German village has been found in Pakistan.  It isn't friendly.  And we thought the Nazis would have a hideout after the war.  From London's Telegraph: 

Investigators have discovered a "Jihadi village" of white German al-Qaeda insurgents, including Muslim converts, in Pakistan's tribal areas close to the Afghan border.

I wonder if they're allowed to have beer parties.

The village, in Taliban-controlled Waziristan, is run by the notorious al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which plots raids on Nato forces in Afghanistan.

A recruitment video presents life in the village as a desirable lifestyle choice with schools, hospitals, pharmacies and day care centres, all at a safe distance from the front.

In the video, the presenter, "Abu Adam", the public face of the group in Germany, points his finger and asks: "Doesn't it appeal to you? We warmly invite you to join us!"

According to German foreign ministry officials a growing number of German families, many of North African descent, have taken up the offer and travelled to Waziristan where supporters say converts make up some of the insurgents' most dedicated fighters.

COMMENT:  Very dangerous, of course.  These fighters can be infiltrated back into German society, and mix with the population. 

We are having the same problem here.  The guy arrested for terror-related activities this week in Illinois was an American.  This is a new phase in terror operations.  Eternal vigilance is required.
