German police arrest video terror suspect

“The 25-year-old suspect is known to authorities as a supporter of islamist activists and is said to have been under police observation.

Police from Germany’s southern city of Stuttgart say the man is not thought to have taken part in producing the internet video that threatens Germany ahead of the country’s national elections on Sunday.

‘In searching his flat, investigators secured numerous items of evidence. The unemployed suspect, who lived alone, was apparently intensely active on notorious Internet platforms,’ the police statement said.

Three videos have appeared on the internet in the past seven days showing German-Moroccan Bekkay Harrach warning of a, ‘rude awakening’ for Germany if the country does not withdraw its 4,200 troops from Afghanistan.”
