International Iraqi 'asylum seeker' arrested in Germany after police foil plans to attack Christmas market

[Croo67]

A 37-year-old Iraqi asylum seeker has been arrested in Augsburg, Germany, for allegedly planning a terrorist attack on the city’s popular Christmas market, local police confirmed.

Authorities acted after discovering evidence that the suspect, named as Ali Al-G, had scouted the market and engaged with Islamic State (IS) operatives online. The arrest has highlighted ongoing security concerns surrounding Christmas markets across Germany, which have been targets for Islamist terrorism in recent years.

I thought our main mans W. Bush & Obama liberated Iraq with Operation Iraqi Freedom. Why do they need asylum at this point?

Honestly time to stop giving them that one opportunity, IMO. 24/7 constant surveillance. Immediate deportation upon committing any form of crime or suspicious online behaviour.

Don't worry, Germany will eventually come up with a final solution to the problem.

Hitler wasn't all that bad of a guy. He was the only one who had what it took to eliminate Hitler.

I would have thought chatting up ISIS online would be enough to get the boot, but I'm no groundhog expat...

Probably belonged to a group called Islam.

Seems to be a common pattern.

You'd have thought so, yeah. In most non-western European countries, it would have been.
