Three brothers have been arrested in Denmark and Germany. He is suspected of planning a terrorist attack. Chemicals and an IS flag were found.
It all started with a suspicious order from a Polish chemical trader. Since then, several people have been arrested in Denmark and Germany, including three Syrian brothers aged 33, 36 and 40. He is suspected of planning an Islamist terrorist attack.
The Naumburg Attorney General’s Office is investigating the preparation of a serious act of violence that is dangerous to the state. The “Magdeburger Volksstimme” and the “Spiegel” reported the arrests for the first time.
Chemicals ordered in Poland
Last week, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) received a message from Poland: A 33-year-old Syrian, living in Holbaek, Denmark, had asked for chemicals, five kilograms of aluminum powder and sulfur each. An address in Dessau-Roßlau in Saxony-Anhalt was provided as the delivery address. It turned out to be the 36-year-old brother’s apartment. According to an EU regulation, there is an obligation to report on certain basic materials from which explosives can be made.
The State Criminal Investigation Office in Saxony-Anhalt initiated the investigation and finally proceeded to search. The police did not find the brother of the chemical buyer and the delivered goods were not initially found. It is said that other suspicious material has been discovered for it: ten kilograms of black powder, fuses, firecrackers and a flag apparently painted by himself of the terrorist militia “Islamic State” (IS), as well as a Koran in which they are displayed certain points. claims to have been marked – combative statements and verses about “disbelievers.”
Arrested so far without complications
The wanted Syrian from Dessau was finally arrested last Sunday in Denmark, where he apparently visited his brother, who was also in custody. Danish police are also said to have found the chemicals ordered from Poland and other materials that were apparently suitable for making explosives and construction bombs. Other people related to the terror suspects were also arrested in Denmark. The third brother was finally arrested on Sunday in Dietzenbach, Hesse. However, it is unclear if the 40-year-old was aware of the alleged attack plans.
The three brothers are Syrians who have lived in the Federal Republic for a long time. They arrived in Germany with their father in the summer of 1998. The security authorities had not previously known them as Islamists willing to use violence. Only the Syrian, who lives in Dessau, is said to have been identified by police as a “troublemaker” and was also being treated for mental illness.
Meanwhile, the BKA took over the investigation due to international connections. The special organizational structure (BAO) is called “Terra”. So far, investigators assume that at least two of the brothers apparently planned to carry out one or even several bombings. However, it is not clear where they should take place.
