Terror Suspects Arrested in Germany Linked to Uzbek Islamists
Three terror suspects arrested in Germany – two Germans and a Turk – had been trained in Pakistan, in the camps run by the Islamic Jihad Union, which is the offshoot of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, The Associated Press reported.
According to German Prosecutor General Monika Harms, all three were members of the German cell of Islamic Jihad Union and probably had links to al-Qaida.
German secret services first paid attention to terror suspects long ago. The key targets of militants were the Frankfurt International Airport and the U.S. Ramstein Air Force Base. They also planned to attack the U.S. premises in Germany as well as the disco clubs, pubs and bars popular with the U.S. residents by placing the bombs into the cars parked nearby.
