German terror attacks were scheduled for 9-11-07

That's a detail I hadn't seen yet in other coverage of the busted German plot. No wonder police moved in now; time was running short.

Knowing Al Qaeda's MO of serial attacks, I expect the Danish arrests may have foiled another plot on the same day. And I still have to wonder about those Goose Creek arrests as well.

PS I must have missed this last year, from the first link above:

Earlier this year, federal prosecutors charged a Lebanese man held in detention over an unsuccessful attempt to detonate bombs on two trains in Germany in 2006.

He and another suspect were caught on surveillance cameras wheeling suitcases containing bombs aboard trains at Cologne's main railway station.

Both men left suitcases on the trains, which they planned to detonate later in the day with a timed explosive device. Despite being activated, the bombs failed to go off because of a technical error, the prosecutor's office said.
