From the German edition of The Local
Saleh Abdeslam, the man arrested in Belgium on Friday in connection with the Paris attacks, also had Germany in his sights, Berlin’s Tagesspiegel newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The terrorist network that carried out the attacks was “explicitly” built to carry out other attacks in Europe, including against the Federal Republic of Germany, a high-ranking security expert told Tagesspiegel. In fact, the Paris group may have been just one of three groups put together by Isis to carry out attacks in western Europe.
Abdeslam is known to have made a trip to Germany in October 2015, travelling from Belgium to Ulm, Baden-Württemberg to collect three men who had entered the country disguised as Syrian refugees. The men may have been part of the Paris attacks group or have been slated to take part in further attacks in Belgium or Germany, Tagesspiegel’s security source claimed. He also travelled through Germany in September 2015 on the way to Vienna and had his identity checked on the border by Austrian police.
