Saxony: Police finds explosives, hunt terrorist who came as Syrian "refugee"

[Tender Branson]

A bomb threat in the eastern German city of Chemnitz has led police to place a high-rise apartment on lock down and launch a large-scale manhunt for the suspect.



The police found several hundred grams of a highly explosive material in the apartment after hours of search.

"It was not just lying out on the kitchen table, it was relatively well hidden,"  Saxony police spokesman Tom Bernhardt told reporters.

He added that the explosives were not considered stable enough to move and they would likely be destroyed at the scene after evacuating the area.

There were "suspicions of plans for a bomb attack," according to the investigators.

"This is no longer a joke," a spokesman told the German DPA agency.

Three people were arrested over alleged ties with the main suspect who was still on the run, according to the police. The security forces blocked off the area around the central train station in Chemnitz.

Hundreds of police, including specialist commandos, are combing the area for the suspect. Local residents have been urged to remain indoors and been told not to publish any photos of videos of authorities investigating the area.

The suspect reportedly arrived as a refugee in Germany from Syria last year.

In the end Syrian refugees in Leipzig tied up the suspect and handed him over to the police.

Turns out the terrorist hanged himself in his cell now and the German media is making a big deal about this now, because the prison guards "should have prevented this" ...

Idiotic. German taxpayers are now spared a couple hundred thousand € because the fu**er is now with his virgins, instead of being fed through for the next 20 or so years ...

At long last, have you no sense of decency?

Congratulations to the refugees concerned for their decisive action.

I don't really care for the wellbeing of the terrorist, but a dead terrorist can't answer any questions while a living terrorist might have been useful for the investigations (at least hypothetically).

Also he can't really have believed in the thing with the virgins, because hanging yourself with your t-shirt gets you directly to hell according to all interpretations of Islam.

The guy had like a kilogram of highly explosive material in his home, which would have been enough to blow up a big hall full of people.

No, I don't shed a tear for this guy ... and I also think the prison guards did the right thing (after all, the guy started rioting in jail after his arrest). This guy is better off dead.

It's not even your disregard for what is still the life of a human being, but this sort of shameless gravedancing which besides embarrassing yourself is just...well.

I'm not sure the German prison officers involved would appreciate your insinuation they deliberately failed to carry out their jobs.

     I don't think anyone should be upset that he died. The gravedancing you describe is Tender's reaction to people mourning a would-be terrorist murderer. Good riddance, I say.

No, it's his reaction to people questioning the police's conduct after they failed to carry out what is after all a fairly simple and standard duty of theirs. Since there was no evident logical connection to the rest of what he said (though it now appears he may have been praising them for what he thought was insubordination?), I assumed he was just using it as an excuse to post his usual crass comments.

Btw, Tender, can we take it given your line of argument that you are now in favour of the death penalty and thus officially to the right of Strache?

It is not the duty of prison guards to monitor a fu**ing terrorist for 24/7, who's rioting in jail and throwing things at the guards ... In the sense of personal liberty, this terrorist can do whatever he wants in his cell and that includes hanging himself.

Besides, I'm strongly against the death penalty. But please explain to me that this has to do with a terrorist hanging himself in his jail cell ? He likely would have blown himself up anyway, just killing more people instead ...

Disgusting how the terrorist enablers from the Left are defending this guy now.

Yes it is. Those are their orders of service. You are calling on prison officers to disobey orders to suit their (or rather, your) own twisted feelings.

In the sense of personal liberty, this terrorist can do whatever he wants in his cell and that includes hanging himself.

Yeah, going to put this one down as self-evidently moronic.

Almost all your arguments so far have been drawn from the bottom of the barrel of the usual repertoire by state-sponsored murder's advocates, it seems a reasonable point to muse about it.

FWIW this is libellous

Surely even if you've decided the times mean an end to liberal niceties, you can agree it would be better he were alive to supply information?

[palandio]

It seems easy to blame this on the prison guards. But when your shift plan indicates monitoring a certain prisoner every 30 minutes, you can't just monitor him every 3 minutes to prevent a possible suicide, because you have a lot of other prisoners that need monitoring, too. You can't monitor them all at the same time.

The mistake was rather that based on Jaber al-Bakr's "mimics and gestures" no "acute and clearly recognizable" suicide danger was diagnosed, despite him refusing to eat and drink for two days, manipulating the electrical outlet in his cell and destroying a lamp.

Regarding his personal liberty, I think it is the right thing to force a terrorist suspect to stay alive and to deny him the right to kill himself.


What I find interesting is that some sources are linking Jaber al-Bakr to the "moderate Salafist" rebel group Ahrar al-Sham. Also some non-Western sources are linking his humanitarian aid work during his brief return to Syria to the winners of the Alternative Nobel price, the White Helmets.

Merkel swore to "protect [the German people] from harm." Guess she's not taking that part of her oath too seriously...

He likely would have blown himself up anyway, just killing more people instead ...

You cannot argue with logic. Nice one.
