| BERLIN: A Turkish citizen suspected of links to a thwarted plot to murder US soldiers and civilians in Germany has been extradited to face trial, German federal prosecutors said Wednesday. The suspected citizen, identified only as 28-year-old Salih S, is accused of working for the Islamic Jihad Union (IJU) since November 2006, the chief federal prosecutor's office said in a statement. He is believed to have supplied equipment to a member of the so-called Sauerland cell, which in March was convicted of mounting what the court called the biggest terrorist plot in German post-war history. "This included three GPS devices, night-vision goggles and three compass watches as well as other equipment and a bank card belonging to him," the statement said. Salih S was arrested in Turkey in November 2008 but released in February 2009 on bail. |
