Germany arrests another alleged member of Hamas cell

(AFP) German prosecutors said Wednesday that police had arrested another alleged member of a Hamas cell plotting attacks on Israeli or Jewish institutions.

The man, identified as Lebanon-born Borhan El-K., was arrested late Tuesday while entering Germany from the Czech Republic, the federal prosecutor’s office said.

Prosecutors allege that in August “he procured an automatic rifle, eight Glock pistols and more than 600 rounds of ammunition in Germany” and had them transferred to another suspect, Wael F.

The latter was one of three men who were arrested in Berlin last month on suspicion of procuring firearms and ammunition.
