“An 18-year-old Chechen was arrested in Brandenburg who, according to ARD information, is said to have planned an Islamist-motivated attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin. Anti-Semitism within the Chechen community is particularly pronounced, said Chechen-born legal scholar Adam Ashab in an interview with BR24. Even before October 7, 2023, the day of the Hamas attack in Israel, North Caucasian preachers had spread anti-Semitic messages in videos: "They called on people to join their fight against the USA, Israel and global Zionism." […] According to the Counter Extremism Project, IS fighters carried out an attack in Somalia in late 2024 (external link) – without Somali involvement. Instead, IS identified the attackers as Tanzanians, Saudi Arabians, Moroccans, Libyans, Tunisians, Yemenis and Ethiopians, as documented by published images.”
