“Islamic State Supporting Migrant on Trial for Alleged Bomb Plot,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 28, 2018:

The trial of a 20-year-old Syrian asylum seeker, accused of plotting to detonate explosives in a crowd in Germany, started at a court in Hamburg this week.

The 20-year-old migrant was brought before the Hamburg Higher Regional Court Thursday to begin the process following his arrest in October of last year, Die Welt reports.

According to the federal prosecutor’s office, the 20-year-old had not only looked up instructions for how to make explosive devices online but had also begun the process of manufacturing the explosives for a potential device.

The prosecutor alleged that the Syrian, who lived in Schwerin in the region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, had become a sympathiser of the Islamic State terror group and was viewing their material online. Both the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Office of the Protection of the Constitution had been monitoring his activities prior to his arrest.

Investigators said that the Syrian had viewed instructional material online on how to build an explosive device using triacetone triperoxide (TATP), which has been used in several radical Islamic terror attacks in the past.

Earlier this month, sources claimed that the terrorists involved in the 2017 Barcelona attacks attack had stockpiled 450lbs of TATP which they intended to place in a truck and detonate outside the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Three months prior to his arrest, it is alleged, the 20-year-old Syrian had ordered all the ingredients to make TATP and, according to investigators, tried to create the substance on at least five different occasions….
