London, Sept 1 (ANI): A Kosovo man, who admitted shooting dead two US airmen at Germany's Frankfurt Airport, has said that he carried out the attack after watching a video showing US servicemen raping a Muslim girl in Iraq, and thinking that they would do the same in Afghanistan.
Twenty-one year-old Arid Uka, told a German court that he regrets shooting the two US servicemen dead and adds that he was radicalised by jihadist propaganda videos that he watched online.
The video he watched before killing the US men, was a scene from Brian De Palma's anti-war film, Redacted, the BBC reports.
"I killed two people and opened fire on three others. Today I can't understand myself how I could have acted this way," the Kosovo Albanian said in the court.
Prosecutors said Uka went into one of the airport terminals, saw some US airmen and followed them back to their military bus.
He then asked one of them where the bus was going, and then shot that man dead.
The indictment said Uka then boarded the bus, shouting "Allah-u akbar', and shot another man dead.
The airmen on the bus had just flown in from Britain and were about to travel to the nearby US airbase at Ramstein, a hub for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. (ANI)
