Trio of suspected ISIS members detained for allegedly plotting a terrorist operation
In a coordinated action, special forces apprehended three suspects in Germany as part of an ongoing investigation into a planned attack. The suspects, a German-Lebanese brother duo aged 15 and 20 from Mannheim, and a German-Turk aged 22 from the Hochtaunuskreis, were arrested in their respective homes.
The Public Prosecutor's Office in Karlsruhe led the operation, with the Hessian State Criminal Police Office (HLKA), the Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Police Office, and the Mannheim Police Headquarters working closely together. The arrest warrants for all three suspects were issued by the Regional Court in Karlsruhe a day later, on December 9.
During searches, investigators found a balaclava, a tactical vest, several knives, data carriers, mobile phones, and an assault rifle with matching ammunition from the suspects. The assault rifle and other materials were seized from the 22-year-old suspect in the Hochtaunuskreis. These evidence items are now being analyzed in detail.
Investigators assume that the brothers made concrete preparations for an attack, and it is believed that they hold a firm religious-ideological stance and sympathize with the terrorist organization "Islamic State (IS)". However, no further details about the nature or target of the planned attack have been disclosed.
The HLKA emphasized that there was never a concrete threat to the population. Investigations are ongoing to shed light on further backgrounds and potential networks of the suspects. As the investigation continues, the authorities reiterate their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the German population.
