Over the past couple of months.....a lot of effort was carried on in Frankfurt for the big 1st of May bike race. Thousands of bike riders would have shown up and tens of thousands of spectators would have viewed the race. It was cancelled on Thursday. Reason? Islamic threat.
Cops raided the German-Turk's house.....found bomb-making material, connected the threat to the race, and also arrested his wife.
What the local cops will say (HR is the source).....this was a thirty-five year old Turk-German who was a chemistry student. They won't say what school and it's odd that you'd be mid-thirties and a student.....but maybe more will come out of this part of the story.
This guy went in and bought three liters of concentrated hydrogen peroxide. This is the kind of material that if you bought in a very small amount....no one would notice much. Because of the three liters....the clerk asked questions. The chemistry student responded that he was going to eliminate algae in his garden pond. One should note....there are better choices (environmentally friendly) for algae issues available at a local garden shop.
For some reason, the clerk just didn't buy off on the story. The clerk calls the cops. No one says much over the clerk and his disbelief in the story. You can imagine two individuals standing there. In a normal American gardening shop.....the kid would have known nothing about hydrogen peroxide other than the price. In a German shop....the clerk knew the precise usage, the amount per hundred liters of water to mix, the chemical make-up, the hazards of usage, etc. The Islamic chemistry student wasn't dealing with an idiot.....this clerk knew facts, and just simply didn't believe the story given.
Clerk calls the cops. Cops came....viewed the surveillance video. The name given by the guy? Fake. But it didn't matter.....they had enough video apparently to note the car tag and place the ID of the guy.
Yeah, he was that stupid.....the minute the false name came up as a flag.....he was screwed....the cops were going to do a five-star investigation on him.
Two weeks ago, they started a surveillance against the guy. I suspect part of the worry by the cops is that he was connected to a group involved in some threat activity from eight years ago (yeah, they had his name in their people-to-worry-about database).
Either through monitoring his internet activity or phone calls.....they came to put him, his plan....up against the Frankfurt bike race. Thursday morning.....they raided the place. Charges are being filed against both him and the wife.
My suspicion would be that they might offer him some plea deal to help the wife get off with hardly any charges. Cops and reporters don't say anything about kids from the family but if they were.....they are probably within state custody at present and probably part of the plea agreement for the wife to walk out.
What this all leads back to? Radical Islam. As much as this guy enjoyed German infrastructure, German laws, German economic conditions, German freedoms, and German educational opportunities.....he had a boat anchor around his neck and could not reach happiness. Sadly, he couldn't leave, and his only reality was some fraudulent fantasy hoodlum behavior connected to a religion.
End of the story? Well....the cops will look over his friends and acquaintances.....phone chats....and emails/text messages. New database entries will be created, and new potential trails will be laid out. The cops aren't stupid, and this guy probably left plenty of evidence for other episodes. As for the bike race? One can hope for the 2016 race.
In this case.....a smart clerk, and a couple of smart cops prevented an attack on innocent people. The system worked like it should.
