“Germany thwarts planned attack on Israeli embassy in Berlin by Islamic State supporter,” by Maya Gur Arieh, Jerusalem Post, October 20, 2024:

A suspected supporter of Islamic State who intended to carry out an attack with firearms on the Israeli embassy in Berlin has been arrested, the Public Prosecutor General of Germany announced on Sunday.

The suspect, a Libyan citizen who was only identified as “Omar A” in official statements and media, was accused by Germany of supporting the terrorist ideology of ISIS, and in order to plan and carry out the attack, he exchanged information with a member of ISIS in a Messenger chat online.

The man was detained on Saturday in Bernau, a locality outside of Berlin, Euronews reported.

The prosecutor general said he will be brought before the investigating judge of the Federal Court of Justice on Monday. The judge will disclose the arrest warrant to him and decide on his pre-trial detention.

German tabloid Bild wrote that the suspect allegedly wanted to flee first to his uncle’s apartment in the area and then flee the country after completing the attack.

The uncle is being treated not as a suspect but as a witness, and it is unclear whether he knew about his nephew’s attack, Bild said….
