German prosecutors say police 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 yesterday while entering Germany from the Czech Republic, the federal prosecutor’s office says.
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.
Danish police also searched addresses in and around Copenhagen connected to Borhan El-K. and another suspect.
A further suspect was arrested last week in London at the request of German authorities.
Hamas has denied any connection to the alleged plot.
