(Reuters) Germany has charged seven foreign nationals for allegedly plotting terrorist attacks on behalf of the Islamic State Province of Khorasan (ISIS-K), the federal prosecutor’s office said on Wednesday.
The suspects, identified as Turkmen citizen Ata A., Tajik citizens Mukhammadshujo A., Nuriddin K., Shamshud N., Said S., Raboni Z. and Kyrgyz citizen Abrorjon K., are charged with founding a terrorist organisation, among other things.
They intended to carry out high-profile attacks in Germany and Western Europe but had no concrete plan when law enforcement intervened, according to the statement.
