Libyer in Bernau: PLEAS against Israeli message unmasked!

Stand: 20.10.2024 08:29 pm

In a explosive incident, a 28-year-old Libyer in Bernau near Berlin was arrested by the federal prosecutor. He is suspected of having planned an attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin. This comes at a time when the security situation regarding Islamistically motivated attacks is taken seriously in Germany.

According to the Federal Prosecutor's Office and reports to the BILD newspaper, the suspect had spoken in a chat about his plans to carry out a weapon operation against the Israeli message. However, a search of his accommodation in an asylum seeker accommodation in Bernau did not bring any weapon to light.

Note of foreign news services

The arrest followed specific indications of foreign intelligence services. This information states that the suspect had planned after the planned attack to flee his uncle in Sankt Augustin before he wanted to settle abroad. His uncle is currently not considered a suspect, but as a witness.

Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann made it clear that the arrested apparently was particularly concerned with the Israeli embassy in Berlin. He emphasized that the protection of Israeli institutions in Germany is of the most important importance, especially at a time when anti -Semitic and Islamist tendencies increase. "We do everything we can to the fact that the dangerous plans of Israel hater and anti -Semitism do not work," said Buschmann.

Federal Court of Justice decides on custody

The federal prosecutor will disclose further information on this incident in the morning. The arrested person is expected to be presented today to an investigative judge of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Karlsruhe, who then has to decide on possible custody. This is particularly relevant because the Federal Prosecutor's Office is responsible for Islamistically motivated terrorist acts. Attorney General Jens Rommel has named this form of terrorism as one of the greatest dangers for Germany.

The challenges in the field of internal security can also be seen in the numbers: Of the over 700 investigations initiated for the past year, almost 500 concerns Islamist terrorism. These facts underline the continued threat and the need for strict measures to prevent such attacks.

The Israeli ambassador in Germany, Ron Prosor, also thanked the German security authorities for their efforts to ensure the security of the message. He points out that anti -Semitism is not only a rhetorical challenge, but also leads to global terrorist threats. The Israeli embassy staff are considered particularly at risk because they are at the forefront of the diplomacy activities.

For further details about this incident, how the federal prosecutor evaluates the assignment and what measures are taken next, we have to wait for the upcoming developments. Comprehensive reporting will be expected in the next few hours.
