Several members of an Islamic group have been charged in Germany for suspected links to al-Qaida and plotting anti-Jewish attacks. German prosecutors said on Thursday that they had filed charges against two Jordanians and a Palestinian for being members of al-Tawhid, a Palestinian group suspected of planning attacks on Jewish targets.

An Algerian was also charged with supporting the group. All of them were arrested in April 2002 and German prosecutors said they were planning an attack near a Jewish building in Berlin. They also allegedly plotted to throw hand grenades in restaurants in the western city of Duesseldorf that were owned or frequented by Jewish people. |
