Two Afghans Arrested in Germany for Plotting Attack on Swedish Parliament

The suspects allegedly planned the attack in retaliation for Quran burnings, with connections to the Islamic State.

Two Afghan nationals were arrested in Germany for allegedly planning an attack on the Swedish Parliament in response to Quran burnings.
The suspects, identified as Ibrahim MG and Ramin N, are accused of supporting the Islamic State and plotting to kill police officers and others in Stockholm.
German prosecutors allege the plot was in retaliation for Quran desecrations in Sweden, with the suspects making preparations including attempting to procure weapons.
The pair raised funds for the Islamic State, collecting approximately 2,000 euros intended for IS members imprisoned in northern Syria.
Both suspects are expected to face charges including conspiracy to commit murder and violations of trade laws.
