American reporter Jesse Schulman interviews a male army spokesman (not identified for security reasons) in the German town of Hanover about a terrorist attack on the homes of British servicemen folied by a staff sergeant who also saved his own life when he spotted a bomb under his car. The bomb was defused by police who say it’s the same type of device the IRA used to kill Corporal Steven Smith in the German town last month.
