Tunisian Charged with Plotting Attacks in Germany
German state prosecutors said on Friday they had charged a 33-year-old Tunisian man with trying to form a militant group to attack U.S. and Jewish targets in Germany. The prosecutors’ office said the man, identified only as Ihsan G., had attended an al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan in 2001 and received ideological and military training, including in how to produce explosives. It said he had then been tasked with returning to Germany, finding like-minded Muslims and preparing attacks.
How absolutely ordinary...
In a statement, the prosecutors’ office said the man set out to find recruits at a Berlin mosque. "Four of those approached showed themselves inclined to form a group with the accused and commit future bomb attacks; others promised their support," it said. It was not clear whether other alleged participants in the plan had also been arrested.
It would be a good idea if you did.
The statement said Ihsan G. had intended to set off bombs at unknown locations during a demonstration at the beginning of the U.S.-led war on Iraq last March. "Through the killing or wounding of a large number of people, the Western world was to be humiliated and the Muslim world and its values defended," it said.
Another fine, upstanding member of the Religion of Peace.
Before being arrested in March last year, the defendant was in the process of acquiring ’chemical substances’ to make bombs, the statement said.
