Killings By US-Drones Part 1 – Anwar al-Awlaki Death Operation

The Following Stratfor EMail was written short after the US Drone Killing of the so called (since 2001) CIA Al-Quaida most wanted hit list. This case was a brake of all rules of human rights the US of A stands for by President Barack Hussein Obama II and the Bush Administration because they set him on a Kill List and wanted him dead.

The headhunting CIA suceeded this operation in late 2011, exactly on september 30th 2011.

SOURCE DESCRIPTION: former VP of FDP, heads democracy thinktank & briefs
German and US government on Islam/Iran specifically
SOURCE RELIABILITY: first contact, so still weighing
ITEM CREDIBILITY: A
SUGGESTED DISTRIBUTION: Analysts
HANDLER: LaurenFrom what I understand the new German administration will be more strict
and consequent addressing and opposing Irans nuclear weapons program. The
main reason for this is that the former government partner of the CDU, the
SPD with foreign minister Steinmeier up front, were quite cautious and
hesitant in confronting Irans illegal activities.

Not necessarily because they believed that Irans actions where legal but
because they thought that dialog and benefits might work better. The
majority of FDP MP’s, however, believe that strict sanctions are
neccessary and so does the CDU including Chancellor Merkel.

I am quite sure that this new “coalition” will have further implications
for Siemens and other German companies.

As you probably know Siemens technology on its way to Iran has been
confiscated in December 2009 and the company might face charges for
violating the German foreign trade law.
