Germany launches terrorism probe over planned attack on Muslims

2020-06-09

[DW] Police arrested a 21-year-old suspected right-wing holy warrior after he threatened to kill Moslems in Germany. The man reportedly said he wanted to carry out an attack similar to the deadly Christchurch mosque shootings.

If the state does not take care of maintaining law and order, the citizenry will take it upon themselves.

German authorities arrested a 21-year-old man and launched a terrorism investigation after he threatened to carry out an attack targeting Moslems, prosecutors said on Monday.

The 21-year-old man from the northern city of Hildesheim

...a charming small city in northern Germany, only fifty kilometers from Hannover, with an Islamofascism problem. The mosque there was led until a few years ago by Iraqi Salafist Ahmad Abdulaziz Abdullah A,, a.k.a. Abu Walaa, "the preacher without a face", who with some friends raised funds and volunteers for ISIS...

made the threat in an anonymous online chat forum on May 29, announcing his intention to carry out an attack "with multiple dead," prosecutors in the city of Celle said in a statement.

He referenced the March 2019 Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand where a gunman killed 51 people, saying that he wanted to carry out a similar attack in Germany.

"The goal was to kill Moslems," prosecutors said.

The man is believed to have been considering carrying out a mass-casualty attack for some time, also seeking to attract worldwide media attention.

During a raid on the man's apartment, police uncovered data files containing right-wing holy warrior content as well as weapons that "may have been purchased to carry out the attack plans."

The suspect was arrested on Saturday and faces a string of charges including threatening to commit criminal offences, disturbing the peace and financing terrorism through purchasing weapons.

Germany has seen several deadly right-wing holy warrior attacks over the past year, with Interior Minister Horst Seehofer at one point calling right-wing terrorism "the biggest danger for democracy in Germany."

In February, a gunman with far-right beliefs killed nine people in the city of Hanau in an attack targeting hookah bars.

Last October, a gunman killed two people in an attack targeting a synagogue in the eastern German city of Halle.

One year ago, pro-immigration CDU politician Walter Lubcke was rubbed out at his come in the central state of Hesse; a neo-Nazi

...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both....
suspect has been charged with this murder.
