Syrian held in Germany got Islamic State instructions for attack

[Ynet] A Syrian man arrested in Berlin is suspected of belonging to ISIS and having received ISIS instructions from Syria to carry out an attack in Germany, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said on Thursday.

Police said on Wednesday that the man, identified by the prosecutor's office only as 27-year-old Ashraf Al-T, had been living in Germany since last year. He was arrested in an apartment in Berlin's Schoeneberg district.

Syrian convicted in Germany after throwing kids out window

[Ynet] A Syrian asylum-seeker has been convicted of three counts of attempted murder for throwing his children out of the window of a refugee home in Germany. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Prosecutors say he threw the three children out of a second-floor window of the facility in February as a way to punish his wife because she refused to obey him after the family moved to Germany.

The dpa news agency says the 35-year-old Syrian, identified only as Hassan Z. in line with German privacy laws, was convicted Thursday at the Bonn state court.

The children -- aged 1, 5 and 7 at the time -- survived but the mother says the two oldest are still experiencing health problems from the fall.

Three Germans jailed for joining Islamist militants in Syria

[AlAhram] A German court on Thursday jailed three young German men for up to four and half years for travelling to Syria where they teamed up with Islamist militants.

Fadil Rudolf S., 26, who received the longest prison term, had first travelled to Syria to join the Sunni militia group Junud al-Sham and in 2013 joined fighters of the Islamic State (IS) militants.

"After his first return to Germany, he once again made himself available as a fighter for the IS over several weeks in July 2014," the court in the western city of Duesseldorf said in a statement. "Later in January and in the summer of 2015, he also sought twice to travel to Syria to join the IS."

The other men, 24-year-old Mohamed A. and 26-year-old Mustafa P., were sentenced to two years and nine months for involvement in Junud al-Sham for several months in 2013.

"The confessions of the accused had a mitigating effect on their sentences," the court statement said.

According to figures released in May by German intelligence services, 820 Islamist militants have left Germany for Syria and Iraq. Almost a third have returned and 140 were killed while abroad, while around 420 are still in Syria or Iraq.

Last buses leave Calais ‘Jungle’ with women, children

[IsraelTimes] 291 refugees hoping to reach Britain agree to be rehoused in France rather than be deported. The transfers end a 10-day operation to clear the camp on France’s north coast, where more than 6,000 migrants — mostly Afghans, Sudanese and Eritreans — had been living in miserable conditions.

Yet less than 300 kilometers (180 miles) from Calais, around 2,000 migrants are living in similar conditions on the streets of Paris. Authorities are expected to soon clear the camp under a railway bridge in the French capital’s northeastern Stalingrad district.
