German charges 4 suspects for stockpiling arms for Hamas in Europe

BERLIN, Germany — German federal prosecutors say they have charged four suspected members of Hamas, allegedly tasked with sourcing and storing weapons for the Palestinian terror group in Europe.

Two men born in Lebanon, an Egyptian citizen, and a Dutch man were suspected of “membership in a foreign terrorist organization,” the federal prosecutor’s office says in a statement.

The men “held important positions within the association, with direct ties to leaders of the military wing” of Hamas, prosecutors say.
