UK Arrests Briton Sought by Germany Over Alleged Hamas-Linked Plot Targeting Jewish Sites

The 39-year-old was remanded after a German extradition request.

Overview

  • UK National Crime Agency officers arrested the man on Monday after German federal prosecutors requested his extradition.
  • He appeared at Westminster magistrates’ court the same day, was remanded in custody, and is due to attend by video link on November 10.
  • German prosecutors say three suspects detained in Berlin on September 30 sourced weapons for attacks on Jewish or Israeli institutions, with an AK-47, pistols and ammunition seized.
  • Investigators say the British suspect came to their attention in June and is accused of overseeing the transport of firearms into Germany and meeting a cell member under surveillance.
  • Hamas has rejected any connection to the men, while German media identified the trio as Abed Al G, Wael F M and Ahmad I under privacy rules.
