15-year-old Islamist from Wuppertal planned attacks on Jewish facilities!

in Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia, a 15-year-old suspected Islamist was arrested due to suspicion of planning a crime. According to the Attorney General Düsseldorf, the young person has been in custody since September 20. The allegations relate in particular to attacks that should be directed against Jewish institutions.

The authorities announced that the teenager was taken in preventive custody a few weeks before he was arrested. This indicates that the investigation had started earlier and that the urgent suspicion had emerged. A spokeswoman for the public prosecutor confirmed this information and pointed out that according to the current state of the investigation, there was no concrete references to a connection to the fatal attack in Solingen, which happened at the end of August.

Investigations and backgrounds

The ongoing investigations are led by the Central Office for Terrorism Track in North Rhine-Westphalia. So far, no further details about the specific planning of the young person have been published. The responsible people emphasized that due to his young age and ongoing investigations, a comprehensive statement on the exact circumstances was not possible.

It remains unclear how far the plans of the 15-year-old actually reached and whether there have been signs of extremist activities in the past. Therefore, the authorities continue to observe the situation closely, while the investigation progresses.

The arrest has also attracted national attention because it is embedded in a number of incidents that raise questions about security and dealing with young extremists. The security authorities are significantly under the pressure to recognize and combat possible threats at an early stage, especially at a time when terrorist activities in Germany and Europe increase.

The case has already initiated discussions about the effectiveness of the previous measures to prevent terrorism and it is expected that further updates will be published as soon as the investigation allow it. Comprehensive reporting is therefore carried out by various media, as www.shz.de reports .
