Germany arrests suspected Islamist extremists over attack plot
[IsraelTimes] Assault rifle and knives found as police swoop in on two Lebanese-German brothers in Mannheim and a German-Turkish man from Hochtaunus

Three suspected Islamist forces of Evil have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of preparing a "serious act of violence," with an assault rifle and knives also seized, authorities said Tuesday.

Police swooped Sunday on the homes of two German-Lebanese brothers aged 15 and 20 in the city of Mannheim, and a 22-year-old German-Ottoman Turkish man from the Hochtaunus district of Hessen state.
That’s the very pretty, fairly expensive Taunus hills area west of Frankfurt am Main, where I lived when we were in Germany. Lots of international business and financial types.
The act that they were planning could have "endangered the state," local prosecutors and police said in a statement, without disclosing further details.

Germany has faced a string of attacks and plots by suspected Islamists in recent years and has been on high alert since Paleostinian terror group Hams led the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, setting off the ongoing war in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
 Strip.

The brothers detained in Mannheim, who had a "strong religious ideology and profound sympathy" for the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (IS) group, had made concrete preparations for an attack, authorities said.

The assault rifle, along with ammunition, was found during a search of the 22-year-old German-Ottoman Turkish man’s home, they said. Several knives, a balaclava and mobile phones were also found during searches.

But officials stressed that "at no point was there any concrete danger to the public." The suspects are in pre-trial detention.

Roman Poseck, Hessen state interior minister, praised law enforcement officials for making the arrests in "good time, before any acts could be carried out."

"At the same time, it is once again clear that the security situation is tense," Poseck added.

Germany has in recent times seen a series of allegedly Islamist-motivated knife attacks. Three people were killed and eight maimed in a stabbing spree at a street festival in the western city of Solingen in August. Police arrested a Syrian suspect over the attack that was claimed by IS. In June, a policeman was killed in a knife attack in Mannheim, with an Afghan national held as the main suspect.
