Two of the soldiers who were on board died instantly, two others were injured seriously. Responded immediately, the German police managed to stop and arrest those responsible.

The young man managed to enter the runway and airport parking, and then in high security area. He approached the bus carrying the soldiers to a U.S. military cargo that they would be repatriated, and according to eyewitness accounts rose by stealth on the truck.

For months and months, Germany has been the target of Al Qaeda and other international terrorist organizations, who want to 'punish' with murder for his important contribution to international peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan. Since the beginning of winter a few days ago, the government had brought into force at the state of high alert against terrorism, then the degree of alert was lowered.
