Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Germany: Muslims were 90 minutes away from carrying out “five bomb” jihad mass murder plot at soccer match

Nov 22, 2015 11:51 am By Robert Spencer

“German intelligence have declined to reveal details of the intelligence dossier, amid reports that one of the terror cell members was a woman and another was named as Faiz A. ‘Some of these answers would alarm the public.'” Oh, well, then, by all means, keep us in the dark, ignorant and complacent, and keep telling us that this has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam and that importing hundreds of thousands more Muslims will not cause any trouble at all.

German police Hanover soccer stadium

An update on this story. “German football match was cancelled after French spies warned of ‘five bomb plot’ by five jihadists including a woman to carry out Paris-style attack on stadium,” by Katie Davies and Tom Wyke, MailOnline, November 21, 2015:

Five jihadists, including one woman, were just 90 minutes away from carrying out a deadly series of five bomb attacks, including at Hanover’s football stadium hosting Germany’s friendly match against Holland, were stopped after receiving a warning from French intelligence.

A comprehensive dossier of intelligence information on the attack was handed to the German authorities by French intelligence is thought to have led to the immediate evacuation of the football stadium and concert venue in the city, according to local media.

An anonymous paramedic revealed an ambulance was packed with explosives and found outside the HDI Arena, according to one German newspaper, although this was later denied by German authorities amid claims of a cover-up.

According to German newspaper Bild, a North African terror cell was planning to attack Hanover with assault rifles and suicide vests – chillingly similar to the methods used in Paris on Friday.

There were also reports of a known trouble-maker, who was held at gunpoint by police outside the ground. Fresh information has revealed that the terrorists were planning to detonate a bomb at a bus stop and a fifth device was found in a train station close to the stadium.

German intelligence have declined to reveal details of the intelligence dossier, amid reports that one of the terror cell members was a woman and another was named as Faiz A.

‘Some of these answers would alarm the public, ‘ Thomas de Maiziere, the interior minister said when questioned about the details of the dossier.

Other reports claimed a man rushed off a train and left behind an explosive device.

Further investigating by police have identified the man to be an innocent electrical engineer who had left his tools behind on the train after racing to get his connection.

The terrifying event began with an announcement at the 45,000-capacity stadium in northern Germany advising fans to leave calmly and that there was no danger.

Top government officials including Chancellor Angela Merkel had been scheduled to attend the match to send a signal that Germany wouldn’t bow to terrorism in the wake of the Paris attacks.

A German security official has denied reports that explosives were found outside the stadium and no arrests have been made.

The German national team was just 5km from the stadium and they were taken to a police station but have now left. The Dutch players were sent home after space on a flight was found.

Security services told German news agency DPA the threat came from Islamists.

Hanover police president Volker Kluwe said last Wednesday: ‘There were serious plans for an explosion, a specific risk situation for all of Hanover. We feared a bomb attack at the stadium tonight.’…

      What’s the willfully blind Angela Merkel got to say about this?
      Is she still bent on massively importing Muslim savages?

    There are so many disturbing aspects of this article I don’t know where to begin.

    German intelligence have declined to reveal details of the intelligence dossier…‘Some of these answers would alarm the public, ‘ Thomas de Maiziere, the interior minister said

    Better to keep the citizens in the dark? Because the politicians are clearly making better decision by allowing in the migrants?

    Other reports claimed a man rushed off a train and left behind an explosive device…police have identified the man to be an innocent electrical engineer.

    A man who left a bomb on a train is described as innocent.

    one of the terror cell members was a woman

    Noting how many times the press mentions that some of the terrorists are women. As if this is shocking.

    Merkel had been scheduled to attend the match to send a signal that Germany wouldn’t bow to terrorism in the wake of the Paris attacks.

    Germany won’t bow to terrorism. Great. But Merkel will turn a blind eye while giving the German people an opportunity to be killed, no matter where they are. Keep it up, Merkel. You need to be lucky every time. They only need to be lucky once. Sounds like the odds are in their favor.

    ‘Some of these answers would alarm the public, ‘ Thomas de Maiziere, the interior minister said when questioned about the details of the dossier.

    “Alarm the public”? What does he think the “public” will do? Gather a mob, look for the nearest muslim family, drag them out of their home, and beat them to death on the street with baseball bats and crowbars?

    Or could it be that the government just doesn’t want to admit that they dropped the ball on something – are they afraid the public will lose trust on them?

    To Angie M. in Berlin: do you think, within the illegal 300 – 500’000 and since long time unregistrated persons in your “Welcome and Balloon-Party-Country”, there possibe might be a little-little one-only terrorist?
    Probably yes ? He will be bemoved – no problem: “WIR SCHAFFEN DAS”!

      Dear Rolf : Merkel : “Wir Schaffen Das” ; Obama :” Yes, we can “. It seems the New World Order is very optimistic about it’s future . Create CHAOS , that’s what they do on purpose . So the population will get that scared , the population will ask for measures , for its safety . And all our liberties will be stripped from us , except for a certain ELITE , They want to enslave us , control us , abuse us .

    Well, that’s what Merkel gets for inviting all those Syrian Jihadi Migrants(TM) into Germany.

    What did she expect, a spring bunny picnic??

      Merkel works for the communist. She was placed there with a plan. Look at SA. the ANC was placed there for a plan to destroy from the inside. Like cancer.

      A little too late for that, everyone’s scared these days and with good reason these governments aren’t protecting its citizens!

    The German people don’t know the half of it. The authorities have been covering up the huge levels of crime – violence, rape, persecution of Christian refugees – by the migrants since the word go. The authorities have attempted to shut down any criticism, even to extent threatening prosecution of anyone who raises any questions of the government’s policy or expresses alarm on social media. To its shame, the MSM is in cahoots.

    ………………….

    Kudos to German authorities for foiling this Jihad terror plot!

    But with increasing floods of Jihadists into the West, how many more headlines will read like the attack on Paris, rather than like this one?

    Even the finest security forces can be overwhelmed–indeed, we are seeing more and more of this throughout the West–and if we continue on this mad path, it will only become worse.

    These terrorists totally MISUNDERSTAND that the 164 JIHAD VERSES in the Koran have NOTHING…no NOTHING…to do with Islam.

    It’s a good thing Angela Merkel brought in more Muslims to Germany…what could go wrong?

    This is the new normal for all public gatherings – expensive overbearing security & surveillance, an atmosphere of dread, punctuated by occasional random massacres and bombings.

    Thanks Allah, you shithead, you can stuff your fake religion and your diabolical Book.

    We will eventually wake up and destroy you for real.

    It looks like the Islamic month of battles, Safar, is going according to plan. Wait till next Friday. They tool up during Isha ( evening prayers) – let’s hope that by now the police and security services realize that it is all about Islam and a knowledge of Islamic history culture, social habits will actually help predicting their actions.
    Jihadis believe they are acting on behalf of Allah – so that gives them a certain blindness that could be exploited by security.

    “There were also reports of a known trouble-maker, who was held at gunpoint by police outside the ground”.

    Ah yes, I can see a new media tactic here. Call suspected Jihadists “trouble makers” to isolate any connection to the great religion of Islam. For example…

    “Police arrested known troublemakers armed with assault rifles and explosive vests”

    “The troublemakers called out Arabic phrases as they launched their attack”

    Nothing to do with Islam.

  16. ECAW says

    Agreed. These jihadis are our best hope for waking the majority up to the greater threat, stealth jihad by demographics and subversion.

    I’m a German and I hv to say that most of the ppl I hv spoken to abt the so-called refugee crisis 99% are against letting these ppl in bt the lying news media wud never say the truth. Islam is not a religion bt an evil ideology that’s bent in conquering the whole world and wants to impose sharia on everyone of us. This’s more dangerous than the Nazi ideology bcos there’s the promise of the so-called evil paradise where 72 virgins are waiting for them as if there’s no other thing happening in heaven other than having sex.
