Daesh-linked German Attacker Planned to Poison Children with Ice-Cream, Blow up Nursery

Local Editor

A letter from a teenage Daesh-sympathizer [ISIS/ISIL] linked to the April bombing attack on a Sikh temple in the German city of Essen to another suspect unveils his plot to murder nursery school children with poisoned ice-cream and a car bomb, German media report.

Mohammed Ö., a 17-year old teenager, was arrested in August this year in connection with investigation of an attack on the Sikh wedding that left three people heavily injured.

He was subsequently sentenced by German district court in the city of Gelsenkirchen to two years behind bars in October for taking part in the improvised bomb trials ahead of the attack, German Focus daily reported on Wednesday, citing Bild tabloid.

The contents of one of the letters allegedly exchanged by the extremists in August while they both were in custody, were uncovered in the German court during an appeal launched by Ö's lawyer against the verdict.

The 17-year-old is said to have exchanged at least three letters written in German, Turkish and Arabic with Yusuf T, a suspected ring leader of a radical Salafist group, which had perpetrated the attack.

In a string of handwritten messages scrawled over with Daesh symbols, Mohammed Ö shares with Yusuf T thoughts on possible future attacks, asking him, in particular, if he is allowed to "also kill children in a targeted attack."

Elaborating on his plan further, he gives a detailed, blood-curdling description about how exactly he intends to implement his plans, spread on two A4 sheets.
