Overview
- Federal police detained Lebanese-born Borhan El-K on the A17 near the Czech border after he entered Germany on Tuesday night.
- Prosecutors allege he obtained an automatic rifle, eight Glock pistols and more than 600 rounds in August before passing the weapons to Wael FM in Berlin.
- Wael FM was arrested on 1 October alongside Adeb Al G and Ahmad I, and authorities say the seized arsenal was intended for attacks on Israeli or Jewish institutions.
- Danish police searched properties in Copenhagen tied to the latest detainee and another suspect, and related inquiries uncovered a weapons cache in Vienna and led to a London arrest.
- The new suspect is being taken to Karlsruhe for a judicial review, the men face charges including preparing a serious act of violence and membership in a foreign terrorist organisation, and Hamas has denied any link.
