He is said to have planned a poison gas attack on New Year’s Eve, which is why he regularly chatted with ISIS members. But when he was taken into the courtroom in shackles, Jalal J. (26) cowardly hid his face behind a file folder. He has now been sentenced to four years behind bars. However, he will not be released: the court ordered preventive detention!
Jalal J. had to answer for a serious violent offence endangering the state. According to the judges, the Iranian had planned a terrorist attack with a lethal weapon. To this end, he is said to have contacted members of the Islamic State (IS) and received via the internet instructions on how to produce the poisonous substances ricin and cyanide.
“According to the findings of the State Security Chamber of the Dortmund Regional Court, the accused made the decision to commit an Islamist-motivated poison gas attack in accordance with the ideology of the “Islamic State” in the second half of 2022 at the latest, with the intention of killing the largest possible number of people in order to impair the population’s sense of security and send a signal in favour of the radical Islamist world view,” said a spokeswoman for the court.
Incomprehensible: Jalal J. simply bought the ingredients in the supermarket, at “Kaufland”, among other places. According to the indictment, his Islamist chat partners then explained to him step by step how he could produce ricin or cyanide. On New Year’s Eve, he wanted to kill as many defenceless people as possible. But one last ingredient for the perfidious plan was missing: iron filings.
The FBI finally gave the German authorities the decisive clue. Special units wearing anti-infection suits took action on the night of January 8 and arrested J. in his brother’s flat in Castrop-Rauxel (Recklinghausen district).
This is not J.’s first time in the dock. He was already convicted of attempted murder in 2019. Back then, he threw a ten-kilo branch onto the A45 motorway and a female driver was unable to avoid it. The woman miraculously survived the crash.
