Islamists ‘plotted to kill far-right politician’

Source: The Local:

The authorities arrested four members of a radical Salafist group before they could murder Markus Beisicht, the head of the anti-Muslim far-right Pro NRW party.

The police apprehended two of the suspects in Leverkusen near Cologne, where they were apparently observing Beisicht. Two others were arrested in Essen and Bonn, where the police discovered ingredients to make explosives and a gun.

“The arrests prove that the security authorities are vigilant and take the threat from extremist Salafists very seriously,” said NRW Interior Minister Ralf Jäger, according the website of Der Spiegel.

  1. “foiled an Islamist assassination plot”

    Come on The Local: From which angle it comes to be titled as Islamist assassination plot. It is an extremist or terrorist plot. Such acts have no identity with any religion. Pleae remove the hate specs of Islam and try a fair journalism.

  2. Yes, any plot by the terrorists should not be addressed as Islamic. Many innocent people were killed in Sweden by some one who was a Christian. But nobody called that a Christian plot to kill. It was attached to one person as a person, not as his faith.

    The Muslims should also beware and behave themselves not to indulge in any act of terrorism or anti-state activity. A crime is a crime which can be taken care of as per rules of law. The so-called Muslims have no right to earn a bad name for Islam by their bad deeds.
