German prosecutors said they had foiled a suspected terror plot by an Egyptian imam and several Muslim migrants to use a vehicle to plough into a Bavarian Christmas market and kill holiday revellers.

The Islamist preacher, 56, aimed “to kill or injure as many people as possible” by driving a vehicle into a busy festive celebration, according to a statement by public prosecutors.

Three Moroccan men, aged 22, 28 and 30 respectively, pledged to carry out the deed, while a fifth man, a 37-year-old Syrian, encouraged them to follow through, according to the authorities. Four of the men were arrested near the Austrian border, north of Salzburg, according to local outlet PNP. All five are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Similar terror attacks on German Christmas markets in recent years, including one in the eastern city of Magdeburg last year by a Saudi national, and in Berlin in 2016 by a Tunisian, left 19 people dead and hundreds more injured.

“The extent to which Islamist structures may have penetrated Germany gives cause for concern,” said Jens Spahn, chief whip of the Christian Democrats, on X.

Investigations into plot are ongoing. German public broadcaster BR reported that the key tip-off in the case came from Bavarian state intelligence.

“There was no immediate danger to the population,” the Munich public prosecutors’ office told Euractiv.

While the accused “wanted to carry out an attack in the Dingolfing area, there was still no specific target or date for the attack.” Located about an hour’s drive northeast of Munich, Dingolfing is home to BMW’s largest auto factory in Europe.

Just to be politically correct; These are the type of human they prefer given visa to their beloved country

GreenCovering:
This neither helps nor represents Islam.
It's a pure crime.

Nwaikpe:
Very correct.

Although I think it is more about raccism than just being politically correct.

Real PhDs, Post Docs, doctors, engineers, nurses, smart kids, etc from African countries, that are Christian in relligion, apply for visas to these places, but are turned down because they are bllack.

They instead go to North Africa and the Middle East to import muzlims, begging them to come to Europe, simply because they are fairer in color than the Africans.

Those days, when African immigrated to the west, they try and work very hard to blend, and assimiliate. They try to speak like the Europeans, read like them, think like them, dress like them, etc. But then wehn the Arabs arrived, they tried making Europe think like them, and behave like them, and when Europe refused, they start attaccking Europe.
