Man Indicted in Switzerland for Plotting Attacks in Lebanon
[AnNahar] An Iraqi citizen suspected of being a "high-ranking" member 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....
group has been indicted for allegedly violating a Swiss ban on murderous Moslem groups and accused of plotting attacks in Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
and Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

The Swiss attorney general's office said the suspect allegedly served as a recruiter, trafficker and "cash-provider" for IS. It did not name him, but said he has been in jug since his arrest in May 2017.

The man is accused of attempting to incite a fellow IS member the month before to carry out a suicide kaboom in Lebanon that "was prevented in time," the attorney general's office said.

He also allegedly received instructions to carry out an attack in Switzerland, sent financial support to the Islamic State group, and "instructed an IS member living in Syria to set up IS sleeper cells," the attorney general's office said. An attack in Switzerland was never imminent, the office said.

The indictment charges him with violating the ban on murderous Moslem groups, membership in IS as a criminal enterprise, and producing and stockpiling images of violent acts.

Prosecutors further accused the indicted man of providing false information about his financial situation more than a dozen times, enabling him to receive social assistance benefits in Switzerland "to which he was not entitled," the office said.

Switzerland largely avoided the wave of deadly terror attacks that targeted cities in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the Middle East in the last decade. Federal police have broadened their authority to monitor communications and potential suspects for possible threats.
