Terror cell smashed in Karlsruhe: assured assault rifle!

What an exciting Sunday in Germany! The police managed a spectacular blow against Islamist terrorism. In a joint, lightning-fast campaign, emergency services from Baden-Württemberg and Hesse kept the dangerous connections from three alleged IS supporters. The suspects? A Lebanese couple, just 15 and 20 years old, and a 22-year-old German-Turk from the Hochtaunuskreis. Good work, police!

According to information from the Young Freedom had already taken up with a storm rifle and ammunition. A clear indication of the investigators that they had dark plans. The reasons? A radical loyalty to the Islamic state and deeply rooted ideological beliefs. The police then struck on Sunday and ended the threatening conspiracy before blood flowed.

But that wasn't all! In addition to the assault rifle, the investigators found even more during the searches: a storm hood, a tactical vest and sharp knife - instruments for their planned terrorist act! However, the population may breathe a sigh of relief: the public prosecutor immediately emphasized that there was never a specific risk to the general public.

powerful statement by the Interior Minister

While the suspects were already in front of a judge, the interior ministers of the federal states involved commented almost confidently. Hesse's Interior Minister Roman Poseck (CDU) and his colleague from Baden-Württemberg, Thomas Strobl (CDU), praised the effective work of the security authorities. Poseck confirmed that the security situation was still tense and asked for more powers for the police to be able to act even more consistently against this kind.

POSCK also emphasizes: "A cross -border success like this shows that the path has been taken is necessary." It was clear that the security authorities are "wide awake" and thus ensure the protection of citizens, such as ZDF reported.

With this heroic action, the prevention of a possible attack has been successful and a strong signal to everyone who follows Islamist ideology. Germany shows that it is willing to resolve all threats and to put explosive security measures into practice within a few hours!
