The Libyan man who plotted an attack on the Israeli embassy in Germany was a failed asylum seeker, according to German news agency dpa.
The man, identified as Omar A., was arrested on Saturday, October 19th in Bernau, a town just outside of Berlin. “He intended to carry out a high-profile attack with firearms on the Israeli embassy in Berlin,” the prosecutor’s office said. He also reportedly exchanged information with a member of the Islamic State terror group.
