Poland Detains Lebanese Man Suspected of 'Planning Attacks'
2020-04-24
[AnNahar] Poland's special services said Monday they had detained a Lebanese citizen with suspected ties to 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....
group who allegedly planned to launch attacks in the country.

The man, whose identity was not made public, was detained on April 16 after being deemed "a real threat to Polish internal security and to our country's citizens," according to Stanislaw Zaryn, front man for Poland's special services.

The suspect "was planning to set up a network in Poland and elsewhere in the EU that would carry out terror attacks in Western European countries," Zaryn said in a statement.

He had "family ties to faceless myrmidons belonging to the so-called Islamic State who died in battle against the coalition forces in Syria and Iraq," the statement added.

The man had apparently been in frequent touch via the internet with the Islamic State and other individuals linked to the group in EU member countries while he was staying in Poland.

The individual, who is now in a detention center for foreigners in eastern Poland, is also alleged to have provided financial support to Islamic State members in Syria.
