    In this undated image made from a video by the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, German speaker Mounir Chouka, who goes locally by the name Abu Adam al-Almani, "Abu Adam the German", speaks from an unknown location. Between 15 and 40 Germans and a smaller contingent of other Europeans are believed to be getting militant training in Pakistan's lawless border region, intending to join the Taliban's fight against NATO forces in neighboring Afghanistan or return to Europe and strike at the soft underbelly of those countries.
