German terror cell allegedly attempted failed attacks
2019-03-30
Oh? Fascinating.
[DW] Austrian authorities say an alleged Iraqi terror "cell" planned and carried out attacks on German train lines. Investigators now believe there may have been more than two attempts to derail trains.

An Iraqi man accused of attempting to derail high-speed trains in Germany
...that would be the carefully unnamed father of five who was granted asylum in Germany Austria twenty years ago, after he had received military training under his beloved Saddam Hussein. He’d been working in Germany for a security company guarding soccer stadiums and supermarkets, and was caught when they traced the printer of the pro-ISIS notes he left at the derailment sites...
may have carried out more attacks than previously thought, Sherlocks said Friday.

The investigation into the alleged terror attacks is widening after the 42-year-old Iraqi and his wife
...who also, one notes, does not have a name...
were jugged
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
 in the Austrian capital Vienna on Monday, followed by two more Iraqis arrested in the Czech Republic on Thursday.
...who are also nameless, though The Local reports one is a man of 30 and the other is a woman of 27...
The main suspect in jug in Vienna is accused of placing steel wires across the tracks of the high-speed rail lines between Nuremberg and Munich in October and in Berlin in December. Nobody was injured in the attempts to derail the trains.

ADDITIONAL INCIDENTS UNDER INVESTIGATION
In a new development on Friday, authorities in the southern German state of Bavaria said they were now investigating two additional attempts to derail trains on the Nuremberg-Munich line around Allersberg using wood and steel wedges placed the tracks, dpa news agency reported.

"We assume that there were three incidents at different times at the same site," a spokesperson from the Bavarian state criminal office told dpa, referring to Allersberg.

The spokesperson said the attempts to derail the trains failed due to the faulty construction design of the wedges placed on the tracks.
Really, it’s quite mortifying to be told that no one noticed one’s terrifying terror attacks.
In a separate development, Der Spiegel magazine reported that Austrian authorities discovered night vision goggles and a drone at the Vienna residence of Iraqi man.

SUSPECTED TERROR CELL
The man detained in Vienna has admitted to carrying out the attacks, but has denied any terrorist motive. His wife has denied involvement.

Austrian authorities say an "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....
" flag and Arabic writings found near the scene of the attacks indicate a suspected terrorist motive.

Austrian Interior Minister Herbert Kickl said Thursday that the two suspects detained in Prague "formed a cell" with the man detained in Vienna. A Czech court has ordered the terror suspects to be extradited to Austria.

#1  ...that would be the carefully unnamed father of five who was granted asylum in Germany twenty years ago, after he had received military training under his beloved Saddam Hussein.

He's a 'recognized refugee' in Austria, not in Germany. According to some initial reports he came to Austria 20 years ago. Newer reports indicate that he's lived in Austria only since 2012.

I wonder if he and his accomplices actually have acquired dozens of fake identities during Merkel's refugee flooding. They've had the opportunity in any case.
