Six Foreign Nationals Charged with Plotting Terrorist Attacks in Germany for Daesh-K
Six foreign nationals, identified as Tajik and Kyrgyz citizens, have been charged by Germany for planning terrorist attacks on behalf of the Daesh Province of Khorasan (Daesh-K).
The suspects are accused of founding a terrorist organization and intending to carry out high-profile attacks in Germany and Western Europe.
However, they had no concrete plan when law enforcement intervened.
In July 2022, two suspects were arrested in Germany for having ties to Daesh-K, the Afghan branch of ISIS, which claimed responsibility for a mass shooting in Moscow that killed at least 137 people in May 2022.
The suspects entered Germany from Ukraine after the conflict began there in spring 2022.
They formed a terrorist cell with a member from the Netherlands and regularly met to plan attacks and scout potential targets in Germany.
