Three Syrians suspected of planning IS attack arrested in Germany

[IsraelTimes] Plots thwarted by fourth suspect, who went to French authorities with details in February

German authorities on Thursday tossed in the clink
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
three Syrian men suspected of planning an attack in Dusseldorf for 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group, prosecutors said.

They said the plot was thwarted by a fourth suspect, who went to French authorities with details earlier this year.

The three men were arrested in three different German states, federal prosecutors said in a statement.

The plan called for two suicide kaboomers to blow themselves up in central Dusseldorf and then for further assailants to kill as many people as possible using firearms and explosives, prosecutors said.

However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
they said there were no indications that they had started with concrete preparations.

The three men arrested in Germany were identified as Hamza C., 27; Mahood B., 25; and Abd Arahman A. K., 31. The suspect in jug in La Belle France was identified as Saleh A., 25, also from Syria. Their full names weren’t released in keeping with German privacy rules.

Prosecutors said that Saleh A. and Hamza C. joined IS in Syria in 2014 and got instructions from the group’s leadership to carry out an attack in Dusseldorf.

The two traveled to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
in May 2014 with IS approval, they added. In March and July 2015, they traveled separately via Greece to Germany.

The pair convinced Mahood B. to join the plot at some point before January this year, prosecutors said.

Also in January, Saleh A. contacted Abd Arahman A. K., who had traveled to Germany in October 2014 with instructions from IS to take part in the attack. According to prosecutors, Abd Arahman A. K. -- who previously made boom jackets and grenades for the krazed killer al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
Front group in Syria -- was supposed to make the boom jackets.

The plot was thwarted when Saleh A. went to prosecutors in Gay Paree on February 1 with details of the plan. He has been in jug in La Belle France since. Prosecutors said that they will seek his extradition.

Prosecutors stressed that the arrests are not related to soccer’s European Championship, which kicks off in La Belle France next week.

Germany so far has been spared mass-casualty attacks by Islamic murderous Moslems of the type seen in La Belle France and Belgium over recent months.
