'Imminent threat' to US troops in Germany dismissed | |
2020-01-21 | |
[DW] A leaked military intelligence report from the United States over the weekend had suggested that a man from Jordan could target US forces in Germany. But officials say the threat was quickly dismissed as nonexistent.
The US Army Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... 's press office confirmed the report. However, the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... with little additional detail, the press office reported that the threat was determined as not imminent. "We can confirm a potential threat was identified and investigated Saturday night," the office reported in an email to DW. "German and US officials were consulted and no imminent threat was found to exist. We'd like to remind everyone to stay vigilant and be aware of their surroundings." The story emerged after a US soldier posted a screenshot to Facebook of a "spot report" from the US's Germany-based 66th Military Intelligence Brigade. "The source of information stated the attack would be carried out by an unnamed Jordanian holy warrior currently located in Germany near an unknown US military base," the document in the screenshot seen by DW read. "The unknown Jordanian was described as a loyalist to the Jordanian kinglet and recently advocated killing US soldiers in Germany." (Newsweek reports that "kinglet" is a derogatory term for Jordan's King Abdullah II ‐ referring to him as a puppet of the United States.) The document added that a spot report was a "preliminary report on ambiguous circumstances, not fully evaluated information," intended to alert commanders and staff to potential threats. | |
