Setting aside the fact that many of these “children” are actually in their late 20s, remember when Obama chided those who were frightened of children – “orphans he called them”? A bomb still rips human beings to bloody shreds no matter how old the person was who set it off.
“Syrian migrant, 16, arrested for plotting ‘ISIS bomb attack’ in Cologne,” By Joey Millar, The Express, Sep 21, 2016
A 16-YEAR-OLD Syrian migrant has been arrested on suspicion of plotting a bomb attack in Cologne, Germany.
Police had tracked the boy’s activity through internet messageboards, where they said he made his “unmistakable willingness” to carry out a bomb attack clear.
They also hinted at links between the Syrian migrant and Islamic State (ISIS), after police said he had been contacted by a jihadi recruiter.
Through the recruiter, he had become “turbo-radicalised”, and completely cut himself off from the world.
People who knew him said he would sit in a corner of his mosque silently, only communicating through his phone.
The teenager had received “concrete instructions” on how to construct a bomb.Investigators do not believe, however, he had bought the materials or picked out a target.
The boy’s arrest comes amid rising anger at German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door migration policy.
The city, located in the west of Germany, was also the scene of hundreds of sexual assaults carried out by migrants on New Year’s Eve last year.
