Four arrested in Europe over alleged cross-border Hamas terrorism plot
Three held in Germany and one in Netherlands over plans for possible attacks on Jewish institutions, prosecutor says
Four people have been arrested in Germany and the Netherlands on suspicion of being part of a cross-border Hamas terrorism plot that German federal prosecutors said aimed to target Jewish institutions in Europe.
Three others were arrested in Denmark on apparently related terrorism offences, and while police in Copenhagen were more circumspect about the details, the prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said the threat was “as serious as it gets”.
The office of Germany’s federal prosecutor said three men were detained in Berlin and the fourth in Rotterdam on Thursday and were described as “longstanding members of Hamas” who had links to its military wing and “have participated in Hamas operations abroad”.
One of the group, named only as Abdelhamid Al A, was accused by the prosecutor of having “started searching for an underground weapons cache in Europe no later than spring 2023” on the orders of Hamas leaders based in Lebanon. The cache had been “created in the past in a conspiratorial manner” by Hamas, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement released on Thursday afternoon. “The weapons were due to be taken to Berlin and kept in a state of readiness in view of potential terrorist attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe.”
In October, the month of Hamas’s deadly assault on Israel, three of the four men “travelled repeatedly from Berlin to look for the weapons”, the prosecutor continued, with a fourth accused of providing assistance.
The German authorities gave the first names and the initials of the surnames of the four arrested: Abdelhamid Al A, born in Lebanon; Mohamed B, an Egyptian national; Nazih R, a Dutch national who police in the Netherlands said was aged 57; Ibrahim El-R, born in Lebanon.
Danish police said their investigation revealed “a network of people has been preparing a terrorist act” which ran across international borders, according to Flemming Drejer, a police chief superintendent.
At a meeting with EU leaders in Brussels, Frederiksen offered more context. “It is of course – in relation to Israel and Gaza – completely unacceptable for someone to bring a conflict elsewhere in the world into Danish society,” she said.
Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency said police in Denmark had “arrested seven terrorists acting on behalf of the Hamas terrorist organisation” and had “thwarted an attack, the goal of which was to kill innocent civilians on European soil”.
Colour me highly doubtful....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
Yep. Lest we forget that all Moslems are really just terrorists waiting for an opportunity. nm
Craig Murray We know exactly where the western governments go next in their zionist propaganda war, from the "War on Terror" playbook. False flag attacks, concocted "terror plots", agents provocateurs, all stoking up massive Islamophobia. Here it comes again...
Just when western publics are increasingly seeing through Zionist lies and realising Israel is committing genocide....

Intersestingly the story has disappeared from the fraudian's front page and has been buried in a fairly non-prominent page, with no follow-up articles.
This suggests a massive lack of confidence in the story and pretty much an admission that it's bullshit but they don't want to be caught out either way; giving it undue prominence but not refusing to publish it.
On Twitter the usual suspects (that utter waste of skin Andy Ngo, Cee Bee Gee Bees, Telegraph, etc.) are spewing this out as much as possible as if it's all totally confirmed already.
It's possible that there was some group that planned the attacks but the idea that they were Hamas is ridiculous even if they would have sympathies with them and their ideals.
It will be interesting to see whether they amplify or hide the story in the next few days....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Those arrested in Denmark were scheduled to appear in closed court hearings on Thursday.
Ch Insp Drejer said an investigation had uncovered a transnational network of people preparing an attack, with links to criminal gangs.
As I said in the last post, it seems like someone may have been planning something but it's being rebranded as "Hamas terrorism" and we'll have a nice closed court so we can manage that narrative closely.
Stinks....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
