"........The Germans are neither the first nor the only Western nationals living in these parts.

Indeed, since 2008 an increasing number of Europeans and North American nationals are known to have travelled into Pakistan's tribal regions.

The Europeans nationalities include Dutch, German, French and British.

In addition, increasing numbers of Turks have appeared, although they are called Arabs by locals........."

They don't go much into the North Americans or Turks.

His interviews seemed to show that he didn't like fighting. I doubt he'll be their poster boy after he gets out.

So would I. And if he screamed for justice, all I would say is, "There's no justice here, now it's just us".
