Syrian IS Suspect Charged with Scouting Berlin Attack Sites
[AnNahar] German federal prosecutors said Thursday they had brought charges against a 19-year-old Syrian man accused of having scouted targets in Berlin for a potential attack by the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group. The man identified only as Shaas al-M. allegedly joined the jihadist group in 2013 and took part in various military operations in Syria, they said in a statement. Prosecutors declined to tell AFP when and how the suspect entered Germany last year, which in 2015 took in nearly 900,000 asylum seekers, around 40 percent of them from war-ravaged Syria. Once he arrived, "he inspected potential attack targets during stays in Berlin and arranged to send at least one person to Syria as a fighter." "In addition, he served as a contact man for potential attackers in Germany and indicated he was prepared to carry out an attack in Germany," they added. The suspect was placed in durance vile Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! in March after prosecutors in Potsdam near Berlin laid criminal conspiracy charges. He stands accused of membership of a foreign terrorist organization as well as military weapons law violations. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-10-28 |
