FRANKFURT - A Kosovo-Albanian man who killed two US airmen and wounded two others in a gun attack at Frankfurt airport last March was sentenced to life in prison by German court on Friday.
Arid Uka, a 22-year-old who was raised in Germany, had confessed to the attack and said he acted after seeing a video apparently showing US soldiers raping Muslim women.

"Yes, this is indeed the first Islamic-motivated terror strike to have happened in Germany," the judge said.
