Hamas planned jihad massacres in Berlin and Vienna on Oct. 7 anniversary, one jihadi worked for German intelligence

“One of the accused was working as a confidential informant for Germany’s domestic intelligence agency.”

His colleagues at the domestic intelligence agency likely assumed that he was “moderate.” Nobody would have dared to question him too closely, however. That would have been “Islamophobic.” And they all likely hated Israel also, as good leftists, and so he fit right in.

The principal targets included Israeli diplomats, Jewish community centers and pro-Israel demonstrations.

Seven men have been charged in connection with the plot and remain in pretrial detention, according to the indictment. One of the accused was working as a confidential informant for Germany’s domestic intelligence agency.
