Germany arrests Islamist planning anti-Israel terror attack
10/25/2023October 25, 2023

A man previously sentenced for being a member of the so-called "Islamic State" has been arrested. According to prosecutors, he allegedly planned to carry out an Islamist-motivated attack on a pro-Israel demonstration.

Germany's public prosecutor has launched an investigation into a suspected plan to carry out an Islamist attack, its office in Düsseldorf said on Wednesday.

An arrest warrant has been issued for a 29-year-old man, who prosecutors say allegedly agreed with a chat partner in Syria to carry out an Islamist-motivated attack on a pro-Israel demonstration.

The man was detained on Tuesday after police showed up to his apartment in the western German city of Duisburg.

He was believed to have "made a sufficiently concrete statement to a chat partner in Syria" that he was "ready to commit an Islamist-motivated attack", the prosecutors' office in Düsseldorf said.

Wonder how many of these haven't popped up in my random doom scrolling...

Marine Kicked Out of Corps and Indicted in Alleged Neo-Nazi Infrastructure Attack Plot Pleads Guilty to Weapons Charge


A Marine Corps infantryman booted from the service and indicted in connection to a neo-Nazi plot to target energy facilities in the northwest U.S. pleaded guilty to a firearms charge on Tuesday, court dockets indicate.

Liam Collins, a former lance corporal stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, was initially charged in 2020 with two other alleged conspirators. Within the next year, the list of defendants grew to five, including an Army National Guardsman, Joseph Maurino; and two other former Marines, Justin Hermanson and Jordan Duncan.

Collins discussed recruiting veterans into "a modern day SS" on a now-defunct neo-Nazi message board called "Iron March," stole military equipment, asked others to buy explosives, and discussed with his co-defendants plans to manufacture firearms, according to court records. He pleaded not guilty to destruction of an energy facility and other weapons-related charges.

The guilty plea was for interstate transportation of an unregistered firearm. Military.com contacted Collins' listed attorney, but did not hear back by publication. FOX8 WGHP was first to report his guilty plea.

I'm procrastinating so bad today, and these rabbit trails of stories that probably should be more well known aren't generating any desire to try and force knowledge into these little hoodlums brains.

If neo Nazis are plotting infrastructure attacks, it's guaranteed that the Chicom soldiers and jihadists who are coming over our porous excuse of a boarder are as well.  Probably doing much better than the stupid Illinois, I mean North Carolina Nazis.
