Police in the German city of Hamburg said on Saturday they had released three Chechen men who sparked a major security alert after they were overheard at a bus stop talking about becoming "heroes before Allah". "After investigation we have ruled out any threat of a terrorist attack by these men," a police spokesman said, adding the three had been freed during Friday night. ... The search for the men, aged from 21 to 25, on Thursday involved a large-scale manhunt in which more than 1,000 officers put up overnight roadblocks and scoured Germany's second city. The witness (AN EGYPTIAN) became suspicious and tipped off the police after hearing one of them say: "Tomorrow we will stand as heroes before Allah." “It isn’t impossible that it was the result of a bad joke,” said the city state’s interior minister Udo Nagel.
Some joke! Maybe they should be charged with a TERRORIST HOAX (a crime HERE and the UK and Germany and even in Canada) and BILLED for the costs of extraordinary police efforts.
