[DW] State prosecutors have charged an Islamist with planning a kaboom in Germany alongside Anis Amri. The plot to "kill as many people as possible," was foiled by police in 2016. A 31-year-old Russian who knew Berlin Christmas market attacker Anis Amri has been charged with alleged plans to carry out a bombing, German federal prosecutors said on Tuesday. Magomed-Ali C, whose full name was not disclosed due to German privacy laws, wanted to "kill or at least injure as many people as possible" in a terrorist attack, prosecutors said. He was tossed in the slammer ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... in August pending investigations. The plan involved Magomed-Ali C and a French national, Clement B,
CONTACT WITH CHRISTMAS MARKET ATTACKER Amri, a Tunisian national who killed 12 people in a December 19, 2016 truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market, was also allegedly in contact with the other two Islamists around this time. However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the plans for the bombing were cancelled because the Islamists were alarmed following a police visit at one point to Magomed-Ali C. The terrorist cell later separated. Prosecutors said Magomed-Ali C. and Clement B. were unaware of Amri's plans. Amri fled after the Christmas market attack to Italia, where he was shot and killed by police. The charges against Magomed-Ali C come as a parliamentary probe is examining shortcomings in the investigation of the Berlin attack. The interior ministry has come under fire for the hasty deportation of Tunisian Bilel Ben Ammar, who had dinner with Amri the night before the Christmas market attack and may have been in Nice around the time of the July 14, 2016 truck ramming in the French city that killed 86 people. | |
