| Jordanian terror suspect says group planned to attack Berlin’s Jewish Museum, Duesseldorf disco |

| DUESSELDORF, Germany, July 4 — A radical Palestinian group plotted to attack Berlin's Jewish Museum and a Jewish-owned disco in Duesseldorf last year, a Jordanian terror suspect testified at his trial Friday. What would be a "non radical" Palesinian group? Shadi Abdellah, 26, told a Duesseldorf state court the buildings were studied before his April 2002 arrest, but no decision had been made on when to carry out attack. "We hadn't yet decided whether we would do it with a car bomb or some other way" he added. Well a car shouldn't be too hard to find in Germany but they aren't exactly selling explosives in the local hardware store The defendant was among nine people detained by German authorities on suspicion of plotting attacks for the Al Tawhid group which, according to Abdellah, aims to topple the Jordanian government and "fight the Jews." Sorry buddy, you are 60 years late, at least in Germany Abdellah was arrested for allegedly ordering a pistol with a silencer and a crate of hand grenades from a fellow cell member. He could face 10 years in prison if convicted on charges of membership in a terrorist organization and faking passports. Hope we can send you to a place afterwards where they give you another 150 years or so The suspect admitted Friday that the group ordered grenades and a pistol, adding that "we were living in Germany and it's not so easy to get hold of weapons here." Al Tawhid's alleged leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, urged the German cell from his home in Afghanistan to obtain explosives, but the group decided that was too risky, Abdellah said. Yep, Big Kaboom comes early sometimes if you don't read the manual. Suicide attacks were considered as an option, he added. While Abdellah was reluctant to become a suicide bomber himself, he said the German cell's alleged leader, Mohammed Abu Dhess, was prepared to do so. Someone must have told Abdellah that the virgins are in fact raisins and he could buy the latter for 2 Euros without blowing himself up. |
