(Jerusalem Post) German state security sources on Wednesday accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of contracting state-sponsored terrorism against German synagogues in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and spying on the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany.
According to a report from the German TV station ARD political magazine Kontraste, security sources believe the German-Iranian Ramin Y. is behind the attacks. “We’re talking about state terrorism here,” one investigator told Kontraste.
The attacks involved a shooting targeting a synagogue in Essen and a failed arson attack on a synagogue in Bochum.
The effort to burn a synagogue in Dortmund was also part of the attacks in November.
