German Authorities Arrest Suspect Allegedly Planning Attack on Jewish Targets
Authorities in Germany announced the arrest of a man in Denmark believed to be involved in a plot to carry out an attack on Jewish locations in the country. The suspect, identified as Tawab M., was allegedly in contact with another individual gathering information on Jewish sites in Berlin for Iranian intelligence purposes.
According to the federal prosecutor, Tawab M. had promised to procure a weapon for an undisclosed third party and encourage them to target Jewish establishments in Germany. He has a history of obtaining weapons, accessories, and explosive devices in Denmark.
The identity of the third person involved remains unknown, while another individual, Ali S., was previously arrested in connection with the case. Tawab M. now faces charges of incitement to commit a homicide and is awaiting extradition to Germany from Denmark.
Following heightened tensions between Israel and Iran in June, security measures around Jewish and Israeli facilities in Germany were increased. The country has a strong alliance with Israel and has been actively involved in diplomatic efforts concerning Iran’s nuclear program.
In response to the execution of an Iranian German prisoner by Tehran, Germany ordered the closure of all three Iranian Consulates in the country, maintaining only the Iranian embassy in Berlin.
