It was good of the German police to pause from hunting down people who aren’t vaccinated to take the time to foil this plot.
“Investigators in Hamburg apparently prevented the attack,” translated from “Ermittler in Hamburg verhinderten offenbar Anschlag,” Spiegel, December 10, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):
Security authorities in Hamburg have apparently foiled a plot by an Islamist to carry out an attack. Among other things, the 20-year-old German-Moroccan Abdurrahman C. had tried to buy a weapon and a hand grenade on the Darknet, the police reported on Friday.
According to SPIEGEL information, C. came into contact with undercover investigators. The officers went into it for appearances’ sake. At the end of August, the man was arrested during the staged handover. During a search, chemicals for the construction of a bomb were also found. He is in pre-trial detention on suspicion of violating the Arms Control Act and the War Weapons Control Act, among other charges.
At a press conference, Interior Senator Andy Grote spoke of a “very, very serious incident” that we “have not had before”. The potential explosive power of the chemicals was capable of causing “considerable” destruction, at least in the immediate vicinity, said the Social Democratic politician.
The security authorities now assume that there is no longer a concrete threat to carry out an attack. The case shows that “the security network of the state and federal authorities worked very well”, said the head of the state criminal investigation office, Mirko Streiber….

They are just trying to reassure people. Actually, they will never be able to stop all the planned attacks. And the more diversity they import, the more diverse attacks they will be enriched by.

A lone wolf that knew no “connected islamist “, had to use the dark net and was probably shamed into being a martyr for being gay or a sinner, knew the only way to wipe out his transgressions and get to the heaven of “whores and wine” was to go out as a suicide bomber for the cause.

Germany: Cops foil ‘very, very serious’ jihad massacre plot on a scale the country has ‘not had before’
…………,
So glad this was foiled.
But how many more Jihad terror plots are there just like this?
OLD GUY says
Thankfully this islamic terrorist attack was prevented by LAW ENFORCEMENT doing their job, on behalf of the German people.
My fear is that this is coming to America also with the islamic refugees and islamic migrants being allowed to enter without background checks. Hopefully these American cities that have defunded their police departments still have the capability and manpower to find these terrorist before they can complete attacks against our citizens.
When will our politicians get the message that muslims and islamic people present a danger to the rest of us.

Why did they allow Muslims in Germany when they know Jihad is a prominent part of Islam? How dumb can they get?
