Teenage suspects accused of IS-inspired plot to blow up truck at German Christmas market
More on this story from yesterday.
[IsraelTimes] A 15-year-old boy and an alleged accomplice are accused of plotting to blow up a small truck at a Christmas market in western Germany in an attack modeled on the methods of 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....
terror group, local prosecutors say.

The teenager was detained Tuesday in Burscheid, a town near Cologne
...the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth populated city in Germany....
, and a court in Leverkusen yesterday ordered him kept in jug pending a possible indictment. Another teenager has been arrested in the eastern German state of Brandenburg.

Officials say the 15-year-old wrote in a chat group about attack plans. Prosecutors in Duesseldorf say he and the other suspect are accused of agreeing to attack a Christmas market in Leverkusen, a city in the western Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia state, at the beginning of December by using fuel to blow up a small truck.

The teenager claims he acquired gasoline for the plan, according to a statement from prosecutors. The two suspects allegedly planned to leave Germany together after the attack and join the Islamic State-Khorasan Province terror group, an IS offshoot active in and around Afghanistan.

Investigators are evaluating evidence found at the 15-year-old’s home but did not find any stocks of fuel, prosecutors say. He is being investigated on suspicion of conspiring to commit murder and preparing a serious act of violence.
