Soft on Terrorism

From the BBC:
A Kosovo man has told a German court he regrets shooting dead two US servicemen at Frankfurt airport and does not understand why he did it.

Arid Uka, 21, told the court he had been radicalised by jihadist propaganda videos he watched online. ...

Prosecutors say Mr Uka went into one of the airport terminals, saw some US airmen and followed them back to their military bus. They say he asked one of them for a light, asked him where the bus was going, and then shot that man dead.

The indictment says he then boarded the bus, shouting "Allah-u akbar" (God is great), and shot another man dead. Two others were severely injured; one of them was blinded in one eye.

He put his gun against the head of a fifth serviceman but the trigger jammed.

If the court accepts his confession, he is likely to get 15 years in prison.

Two soldiers killed, others permanently maimed, and Uka might get 15 years? What a disgrace.
