WORLD BRIEFING / GERMANY
- Share via
Four men charged in a foiled plot to attack American and other targets in Germany were motivated by hatred of the U.S. and aspired to emulate the scale of the Sept. 11 attacks, prosecutors said.
The defendants -- two Germans and two Turkish nationals -- were arrested in 2007. The charges include membership in a terrorist organization and conspiracy to commit murder.
Prosecutors allege that the group planned car bomb attacks on pubs, discos and airports in Frankfurt, Dortmund, Duesseldorf, Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich and Ramstein -- where the U.S. military has a large air base.
