Die Welt says it was a United States intelligence service, Der Spiegel has to call it Western ones, of course.
Who cares, as long as it’s true. Drone attacks in Pakistan are thought to have thwarted a terror plot that is believed to have targeted multiple countries, including the UK, France, and Germany.
Those drones sure are yucky, aren’t they?
“The U.S. has shared intelligence with European allies in recent days and is working with our key partners in order to disrupt terrorist plotting, identify and take action against potential operatives, and strengthen our defenses against potential threats.”

You know the drill…
It’s not hard to guess that when it serves their interest, the term “Western” is used. When it’s cretinous, evil, and conspiratorial, the term “American” tends to prevail.
