[DW] A 42-year-old Iraqi father allegedly attempted two attacks on Germany's high-speed train lines. Police were reportedly able to track him down through vital clues he left at the scene.

Austrian police arrested a man suspected of carrying out two attempted attacks on high-speed trains in Germany.

The man, believed to be an "Islamic State" supporter, is suspected of having committed attacks on the high-speed rail line between Nuremberg and Munich in October and in Berlin in December, Bavarian State Criminal Police Office said Wednesday.

Austria's Kronen Zeitung reported that elite police raided the 42-year-old's apartment in Vienna on Monday.

#3  If refugee Muslims get pissed off
And, seething with rage, achieve lift-off,
No racism, please,
For each good German sees
Such as these could be "Johann" or "Christoph!"

#1  The public prosecutor's office in Vienna identified the suspect as an Iraqi father of five, who was granted refugee status about 20 years ago.

Twenty years? There’s gratitude for you! Check the family to see if Pops radicalized the kiddos, too. If yes, send them home now — he can follow after his jail sentence is served. Good find, Elmerert Hupens2660.
