German court jails 4 Islamists over attack plots
2017-04-04
[IsraelTimes] Moslem convert Marco Gaebel found guilty of placing bomb at Bonn train station, starting terror group with 3 others.

A German court Monday sentenced to life in prison an Islamist myrmidon who plotted a failed kaboom at a railway station, and handed jail terms to three other Death Eaters.

Marco Gaebel, 29, a German citizen and convert to Islam, planted a homemade pipe bomb in a sports bag at the main train station of Bonn, the capital of the former West Germany, in December 2012.

The bomb failed to go off, but its discovery sparked a major terrorism alert that caused travel chaos at the station two weeks before Christmas.

Gaebel and the three others were also found guilty of forming a terrorist organization and of plotting to shoot dead the leader of anti-immigrant group Pro-NRW in North Rhine-Westphalia state in March 2013.

The four gunnies were furious after the right-wing fringe group had staged an anti-Islamic street protest and displayed caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed outside a local mosque.

Two of the other defendants, Turkish-German Koray Durmaz, 28 and Albanian Enea Buzo, 46 received prison terms of 12 years while German Tayfun Sevim, 27, was given a nine-and-a-half-year jail term.

Judge Frank Schreiber handed down the sentences in a high-security courtroom in the western city of Duesseldorf after a two-and-a-half-year trial that included testimony from 27 experts and 157 witnesses.
Al Ahram adds:
Although the homemade bomb was discovered and defused before it detonated, the court said Gaebel deserved a life sentence due to the seriousness of the crime, the dpa news agency reported. It ruled out his release after 15 years, the usual life term in Germany.

Prosecutors said the men's plan was partly fueled by an audio message disseminated by the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. They were jugged
