MI5

Johnston

Debka reports: “Al Qaeda orders chief of its Palestinian wing not to free BBC reporter Alan Johnston or negotiate release of Israeli soldier Gilead Shalit.
The order appeared in an official al Qaeda Web site early Tuesday, June 19. It explains why Army of Islam leader Mumtaz Durmush is holding onto the British captive at the risk of a clash with the 500 Hamas Executive Force surrounding his compound in Gaza City. Although Britain maintains no official ties with Hamas, the MI5 domestic intelligence chief asked the Palestinian Islamists to refrain from releasing Johnston by force for fear of his life.”

In the meantime Mr. Schaevers and I walked from Gernsbach to Baden-Baden –
quite a romantic walk through the woods and the hills of the Black Forest.
In Baden-Baden our dinner consisted of sausages.

In the meantime I sip my coffee and read this blog in the relative security of a small and cosy office. I have checked the toilet paper. Everything is under control.

Please be alert, be extremely alert.
@Arnon thank you, I know you are experienced in this field too.
I will keep an eye on the dreadful office-tigers, but I am afraid the smaller species are sometimes more lethal.
…and we have plenty supplies of toilet paper left.
Achtung! Auf Gefechtsstationen! We are alert, prepared and combat ready.
Asielzoeker
Dear mr Grunberg, I purchased weeks ago De Asielzoeker in order to update my Dutch (lived in Amsterdam for 5 years) and I must say I am astonished of the approach you gave Beck towards living. It is amazing he remains as a walking machine, keeping everything under a sweeped screte-silence balance. I love how you go unveiling his past in Africa and that picture of the mother-to-be Armenian lover.
rgds, Spanjaard.
