Refugees welcome! They are not dangerous, they are in danger!
“Syrian in Berlin job center: I want to fight for Islamists,” translated from “Syrer in Berliner Jobcenter: Ich will für Islamisten kämpfen,” Berliner Kurier, November 11, 2020 (thanks to Medforth):
A 21-year-old refugee from Syria has been arrested in Berlin for allegedly participating in the fight of an Islamist terrorist militia. He is on remand, said a spokesman for the prosecutor.
It is about “suspicion of membership in the Islamist terrorist organization ‘Ahrar al-Sham’ and participation in hostilities in Syria,” wrote the Attorney General on Twitter.
As a teenager, the man is said to have fought against Russian troops for several months in Syria in the summer of 2013. According to the allegations, he himself fired a Kalashnikov assault rifle. In the context, it is about possible involvement in murder, manslaughter and war crimes, said the prosecutor. According to his own statements, he was 15 years old at the time. The date of birth given in Germany was 1.1.1999. How old the man actually is is so far unclear.
He is actually assigned to a refugee accommodation in northwest Brandenburg, but also lives in Berlin, where he gets money from the job center, it said. At an appointment in October, he is said to have said that he would rather travel back to Syria to continue fighting for the Islamists. The police were then informed and appropriate investigations were initiated.
