As Northern Nigeria Continue To Label Nigeria A Terror Nation, German Police Arrests Nigerian Suspected Of Planning Terror Attack

Very soon if care is not taken, Nigeria will be added to the  list of world terror nations. In the last 5 years there has been a number of reported active terrorists acts and those that were nipped in the bud in various countries in Europe and United States in which Nigerians are involved.

 

The latest being that, German police have arrested a 23-year-old Nigerian man and an Algerian,27, suspected of planning an Islamist attack in overnight raids. More than 450 officers took part in the mass raids targeting 12 locations, mostly in the central city of Goettingen in Lower Saxony state, authorities said.

Police investigating the fundamentalist Islamist community had acted on information pointing to "a possibly imminent terrorist attack", said the city's police chief Uwe Luehrig.

The two men, who had both lived for some time in the city with their families, have been detained. German security services say they consider 550 known Islamists as potentially dangerous and capable of carrying out an attack.

German federal prosecutors, in charge of terrorism cases, have struggled with a flood of investigations against suspects and returned fighters from Syria and Iraq, news magazine Der Spiegel reported last weekend.

Chief prosecutor Peter Frank urgently requested personnel support from Germany's 16 regional state services, complaining in a letter that his national-level service had "reached the limit" of what it could do, the magazine said. With: RT.com
