March 19, 2024
German federal prosecutor Jens Rommel ordered the arrest of two Afghan nationals, Ibrahim M.-G. and Ramin N., in Thuringia on terrorism suspicions.
The suspects reportedly planned a terrorist attack on the Swedish Parliament, motivated by retaliation for Quran burnings in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries.
Ibrahim M.-G. and Ramin N. are believed to be connected with ISIS, having raised funds for the organization, planned the attack in detail, and attempted to acquire weapons.
The German federal prosecutor announced that the suspects are to face the Federal Court of Justice for arrest warrants and pre-trial detention.
Germany's Federal Minister of the Interior highlighted the persistent danger of Islamist terrorism and the importance of continued preventative measures.
