FRANKFURT (Reuters) - A Kosovo-Albanian man who killed two U.S. airmen and wounded two others in a gun attack at Frankfurt airport last March was sentenced to life in prison by German court on Friday.
"Yes, this is indeed the first Islamic-motivated terror strike to have happened in Germany," the judge said.
The court in Germany's financial capital heard how the gunman walked up to airmen boarding a U.S. Army bus and asked one of them for a cigarette.
After establishing that they were heading to Afghanistan, Uka shot a 25-year-old man in the back of the head, killing him, according to prosecutors.
He then boarded the bus, shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) and shot dead a 21-year-old airman sitting in the driver's seat. He wounded two others and pulled the trigger on a fifth target when his gun jammed.
The judge had cited aggravating circumstances, meaning he will spend more than 15 years in jail. In Germany those sentenced to life are released after 15 years. The aggravating circumstances mean he will be in jail for a least 18 years.....snip~
