Terrorism Close Calls: German Jihad & The Euro Plot

About

The jihadist group of ten German citizens and residents planned a multi-pronged terror attack in France, the UK and Germany targeting German bus stops and busses with explosives, if successful the Euro Plot would have resulted in hundreds of casualties. The plot to attack three European cities is revealed only after the arrest of 36 year-old Sidiqui a German national of Afghan descent who grew up in Hamburg and worked at the Hamburg International Airport. Intelligence gained through Sidiqui’s interrogation reveals close ties to Osama Bin Laden and how Germany has evolved from being a safe haven where jihadists like the plotters of 9/11 had based themselves to becoming an important terror target. As Sidiqui reveals names of the other cell members they include seven other German citizens or long-time residents. German security services track the plotters from Germany to Waziristan while the US initiates unprecedented drone strikes to go after members of the cell and dismantle the deadly plot before it’s too late.
