Police have arrested a suspected member of the Islamic State in Wolfsburg. This was confirmed by the Federal Attorney General in the evening. The accused was "suspected of being a member of the foreign terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIG) ," it said in a notification. According to information from the newspaper "Bild" the man is the 26-year-old Ayoub B. (26). The paper said five members of the cell are currently fighting in Iraq and Syria. Two fighters came back already.
The detainee alledgedly "has gone through a combat training for the militant jihad and subsequently recovered dead and injured from the battlefield in a military offensive .... He also has recruited more fighters for the association," the chief federal prosecutor said.
Against Ayoub B. the Attorney General already initiated investigations into the "Preparation of a serious subversive violence". According to information from "Bild" Ayoub B grew up in Wolfsburg and first led an inconspicuous life.
Three years ago, Ayoub B. radicalized suddenly. At the end of June 2014 he first moved in an IS-training camp, where he was trained in the use of weapons and explosives. Later, he reportedly took part in terrorist operations in the Anbar region in western Iraq. According to "Bild", since his return he lived again with his parents and his brothers in a brick building in the Wolfsburg district Reislingen, in which the "German-Tunisian Association for Culture and Integration" is located. There he was allegedly being shadowed intensively by the security forces. "Bild" reported about about 50 people in the city who are members of radical groups.
Wolfsburg cell "greatest accumulation of Syria-fighters"
Terrorism expert Peter Neumann of King's College, University of London said the Wolfsburg cell was next to the group in Dinslaken, North Rhine-Westphalia , the "largest known accumulation of Syria-fighters". Wolfsburg is thus an important center for the IS. Dangerous are not only the returnees, but also the supporters, Neumann said.
Neumann refers in his assessment to IS spokesman Sheikh Abu Muhammad al-Adnani. He had called on IS-sympathizers in September to carry out attacks throughout the West. A spokesman for the Protection of the Constitution of Lower Saxony said currently there are 40 people from Lower Saxony known to the authorities who "have left the country in the direction of Syria" to get involved in fights. As a "special focus" had in Lower Saxony Wolfsburg / Braunschweig region emerged.
