Unknown German Teen Arrested For Plotting Attack On Gay Night Club

Unshockingly, the German police are refusing to release the name and any information of relevance about the person, which should really tell us all we need to know

German Teen Arrested For Allegedly Plotting Gay Club Bomb Attack

BERLIN (AP) — A German teenager has been arrested on suspicion he was planning an Islamic extremist bombing attack in the Frankfurt area, prosecutors said Thursday.

Frankfurt prosecutors’ spokesman Sinan Akdogan told The Associated Press the 17-year-old was arrested by Hesse state police Sept. 1 and ordered held by a judge on suspicion of preparing a serious act of violence.

The information leading to the arrest, provided by the United States, indicated the suspect was planning to attack a gay nightclub in Frankfurt and a Catholic church in the city, according to an official with access to intelligence information, who discussed it on condition of anonymity.

At the time of his arrest, the suspect had instructions on how to make explosives known as TATP and was trying to procure chemicals online, Akdogan said.

It was not clear how advanced the preparations were but Akdogan said small amounts of chemicals were found during a search of the suspect’s home in Florstadt, northeast of Frankfurt.

The suspect’s name was withheld for privacy reasons and Akdogan said he could not give further details on the planned attack.

What’s the over/under on the person being a radical Islamist? Probably pretty good.

This was actually in the Queer Voices section of the HuffPost, linked on the front page. At what point will the LGBTQwhatever community finally realize that radical Islam, which, at least in viewpoint, not necessarily direct violence, is a sizable chunk of Islam, is bad for the “queer” community? That it poses an actual threat?
