An 18-year-old suspected jihadist has been arrested in Cologne, Germany, on suspicion of terrorism. Apart from the Holy War, however, he apparently had other – more secular – preferences.
Yesterday, Thursday, at about 6 a. m., State Security officials, in possession of an arrest warrant, rang the doorbell of the 18-year-old’s flat in the Cologne district of Poll to arrest him. The perpetrator is accused of having used internet chats to urge young girls to blow themselves up in the name of the IS (Islamic State). He is also alleged to have advertised in social networks for other members of the “Caliphate Brigades”.The magazine “Focus” reports that in the course of the house search, the officers confiscated a knife and a machete as well as computers and data carriers.It is further reported that the suspect’s mobile phone was also found containing data indicating child pornography. For example, the Islamist perpetrator is said to have persuaded schoolgirls, some of whom were only 12 years old, to perform sexual acts and to send him the recordings. He then threatened to publish the recordings on the Internet if the police were involved. Therefore, the investigators are apparently not yet really sure to what extent they are dealing with a jihadist or a criminal pedophile.
