They planned an attack as revenge for burning the Qur’an in Sweden.
In Germany, they condemned two Afghans on Thursday, planning an attack on the Swedish Parliament building as revenge for the protest burning of the Qur’an. This is reported by TASR, according to the AFP report.
The suspects were sentenced by the Supreme Court in Dunínsk from the union in order to “kill members of the parliament in response to the burning of the Qur’an in Sweden”. Afghani Ibrahim MG, who was sentenced to five years and six months, and Ramin N., who had been sentenced to four years and two months, allegedly planned an attack, but failed to buy weapons.
Suspicious Afghans are sympathizers of the terrorist group IS
The convicts are, according to the court, sympathizers of the terrorist group Islamic State (IS) and came to Germany between 2015 and 2016. They reportedly sought transport opportunities to Sweden and ways to buy firearms there. Two Afghans have unsuccessfully tried to buy weapons on the black market in the Czech Republic.
Islamist extremists have committed several attacks in Germany in recent years, of which the smothery was an attack by a truck on the Berlin Christmas market in December 2016, which killed 12 people.
In connection with the burning of the Koran, the German prosecutor’s office in October 2023 also accused two Syrian brothers who planned an attack on the church in Sweden.
In 2023, a series of Koran burned through the opponents of immigration was held throughout Sweden, causing outrage in the Muslim world.
