Islamist 
link suspected in Frankfurt shooting | World news | The Guardian: "The man charged with shooting and killing two US airmen at Frankfurt airport has confessed to the killings, according to investigators, who suspect the attack was an act of Islamist terrorism.Another two American servicemen were wounded, one seriously, when a lone gunman opened fire on a US military bus parked outside the terminal building on Wednesday.
German prosecutors are working with US authorities, who said the suspect was not on any American watch list.
The alleged gunman, a 21-year-old ethnic Albanian from Kosovo, had apparently been radicalised over the past few weeks, according to the interior minister of the state of Hesse. Relatives in northern Kosovo identified him as Arid Uka, a devout Muslim whose family has been living in Germany for 40 years.
He worked part time in the postroom at Frankfurt airport, and reportedly lived in the same block of flats as another suspected terrorist, Rami M, who is alleged to have links to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan."
