"Seven Iraqis" With ISIS Ties Planned Coordinated Suicide Attacks In Germany Last Night

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Thursday evening, Munich police evacuated the Hauptbahnhof station and Pasing station at the western end of the city center, and warned citizens of an imminent terrorist attack.

Translation: “Current indications that a terrorist attack is planned in Munich. Please avoid crowds and the train stations Hauptbahnhof station and Pasing.”

This was the scene as nearly 600 security personnel including police and special forces were dispatched.

The tip - which apparently came from "foreign intelligence services" - was described as "concrete."

"The threat very specifically referred to midnight and to these two places," Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann told journalists.

The alleged plot was simple enough: “...seven Iraqis living in Munich were named as the potential attackers, and they were planning to enter the stations in pairs and blow themselves up simultaneously,” The Guardian says, citing Bavarian state broadcaster BR which also said the tip came from American and French intelligence services. 

BR suggests the attack was set to mirror the Paris attacks with at least some of the suspects wielding Kalashnikovs. Here's more (translated):

"The information came after information from the Bayerischen Rundfunk from sources of American intelligence services: The speech was about five to seven Iraqis who would in Munich with Kalashnikov submachine guns carry out an attack in similar to the assassinations of Paris. Specifically, two stations have been cited as possible targets there.Providing the information were also live with concrete names of suspects and the information, a part of the possible assassins would in an apartment-hotel at the Landsberger Straße."

"The inhabitants of this house were checked," BR continues, adding that it "was a large-scale, day-long observation." No suspects were identified. When the warning came again on New Year's Eve, authorities decided to notify the public and close the train stations. 

A spokeswoman for the Munich police wouldn’t confirm the nationalities of the would-be attackers or whether authorities had started a manhunt. She was willing, however, to blame ISIS: “Investigations are happening, but I cannot give out any details, that is a tactical information,” she told the Guardian. “I can’t confirm whether they are Iraqis, but it was apparently a group of five to seven people affiliated to ISIS.”

Here’s what she said when the stations were reopened around 4 a.m.: “The closures at the main station and the Pasing station have been lifted, but there selective controls are being carried out there. The situation after midnight is more relaxed than it was before midnight, but notwithstanding that we cannot give the all clear. We had a terrorist warning from the French secret service and we are still taking it seriously, because we can’t rule out that it is not serious – and as long as there is still the danger of a grain of truth to it, we will continue our measures.”

These "measures" now apparently include a search for the suspects although, again, it looks as though the police are stopping short of confirming a man hunt like that which took place for Salah Abdeslam in the wake of the Paris massacre. “We received names. We can’t say if they are in Munich or in fact in Germany,” Munich police president Hubertus Andra said.

All of this comes after authorities in Brussels canceled all official events for New Year's Eve after three people were arrested in connection with an alleged terrorist plot. 

This is the second time in two months that Germany has taken precautionary measures in connection with a suspected attack. You might recall that back in November, two stadiums in Hannover were evacuated and train stations searched after authorities received a tip similar to that which prompted Thursday evening's lockdown.

And so, in case Germans needed another reason to be wary of the continued influx of asylum seekers from the Mid-East, they can add "Iraqi ISIS New Year's suicide plot" to the list. The number of migrants registered in the country in 2015 came in at around 1.09 million, up fivefold from 2014. As WSJ noted back in October, "Bavaria is Germany’s main entry point for migrants," and the state's politicians have at various times sparred with Merkel over the crisis. In November, Bavarian Finance Minister Markus Soeder told Welt am Sonntag that "Paris changes everything. The days of uncontrolled immigration and illegal entry can't continue."

The only question now is whether the names given to German intelligence will indeed be confirmed as registered migrants. If they are, you can expect a public outcry.

Nobody arrested and they aren't even sure whether these 7 Iraqi's really exist: http://www.tagesschau.de/inland/muenchen-silvester-105.html

"Die Ermittlungen hätten allerdings bislang "keinerlei Erkenntnisse" zu den Personen gebracht: "Ob es die Personen tatsächlich gibt, wissen wir nicht." Die Namen habe man weder in München noch sonst irgendwo lokalisieren können. Die Abklärungen liefen noch."

Quick translation: The investigation so far has not brought up any information regarding these persons. "Whether these persons actually exist we don't know." They have not been able to locate those names in Munich or elsewhere. The investigation continues.

One, how can seven guys split themselves up into pairs? 

Secondly, why would passengers go to a Pasing station in the first place since a train would never stop?

Things that make you go hmmm...

For what it's worth, Pasing is a subway hub and the ICE trains do stop there.  Don't know why the ICE speeds around at 200mph and then wastes five minutes with the slowdown and stop in Pasing.

7 / 2 = 3R1, ha

Did they get their Mossad handler, or did he slip away as usual?

Was the Jewish community prewarned of the attacks as they were in Paris and NY?

ISIS is winning this one. From now on, it will only take a telephone call and a threat, and major infrastructure will be closed down.

This is economic warfare from the US. It will put a dampener on Europe in the years to come.

Maybe a better option is to distance Europe from the US and refuse to participate in their endless wars.

It sounds like the French have put the detainees they've rounded up to the thumbscrews. In order to make the pain stop, said detainees made up a plan but given that the detainees don't have any experience at this sort of thing, could only come up with the garbled nonsense the Police Chief just repeated.

Funny I cannot find a single instance of Jews or Christians or Atheists or Satanists beheading anyone in a Google search.
Or perhaps when you mention Christians you are referring to the Crusades? So the basis for your counterpoint is a event that took place one thousand years ago? Way to stay current and topical.

Misanthropus, If we Americans beheaded people at a Doctors Without Borders Charity hospital they'd jut sew the heads back on.  Hence our decision to just drop the big one on 'em.

Followed up of course by flattening any trace evidence with a few Abrams M1A2 tanks a few days later. 

Mission Accomplished, ape.

One word: Guillotines.  We just used to behead people in more civilized, industrial fashion, is all.

Probably due for a comeback, as well.

I was thinking the other day how 'barbaric' the Aztec human sacrifices were.  And they were!  But in Europe at the time they had... Public executions.  Hangings.  Drawn and quartered.  Burned alive.  Percolate on that for a bit.

The British and French kept the Ottoman Empire on life support (lent them money they knew couldn't be paid back) for something like 70 years (1810 onwards).  The idea was to keep them from collapsing as otherwise Russia would (re?)claim Czargrad/Constantinople/Istanbul.

The House of Saud are crypto-Jews, as per Iraqi intelligence.  Saudi Arabia is the worlds biggest financier of extremist ideology, aka Wahhabi Islam.

You're welcome.

Shaking my head..... We don't bother wasting our time beheading them...... we just blow them up by the millions.

Compare the numbers, who's doing all the killing????

I have been around plenty of Muslims who have never had any intentions of cutting mine or anybody else s heads off.

So many brainwashed sheeple. So much energy expended trying to explain to them as to why they're dumbass's.

Agreed.

Most -- not all, I accept -- of the "Christian" outrages in the past were basically using religion as an excuse to motivate the sheeple to the "cause". The "cause" took many forms over the centuries but, as always, it was over power and land. The Crusades were a RESPONSE to several CENTURIES of Muslim expansionism, coming out of the Arabian peninsula and across Palestine and North Africa just prior to the Middle Ages. The European rulers of the day were faced with an existential threat to the entire European continent. The Byzantine Empire was unable to counter this threat alone. Response? get the Pope of the day to launch a holy war to motivate and rally the rest of Western Europe to bolster the Byzantines.

Modern militant Islam (AKA "jihadism") is different to what the Crusading Christians did in the past in that it is motivated by a combination of vengefulness (reponses to perceived injustices) and a push-back against modernity and materialism. To a hammer, everything resembles a nail; to a fundamentalist Muslim raised on a diet of jihadi history going right back to the story of Mohammad himself (who was besieged and persecuted but responded with persistence and violence to the extent that he conquered his tormentors and will be forever venerated) every piece of news is viewed through this lens.

Of course, if you live in a shithole -- and have only the depressing prospect and humiliation of spending the rest of your life in a shithole -- then Jihadism offers a way of getting some pride back...not to mention those 72 virginal but heavenly goats to sweeten the deal.
