Yeah, not saying that it could not have been disruptive, just not a GB attack in a subway.
German police detained a 32-year-old Iranian citizen suspected of obtaining deadly poisons, such as cyanide and ricin, to carry out an "Islamist-motivated" attack, German authorities said. Israeli sources confirmed the Mossad's involvement after German Bild newspaper reported that a friendly nation's intelligence agency provided crucial information. >

At this point, Europe should be catching on that Iran is going to attempt multiple terrorist attacks on its citizens to weaken its support of Ukraine, or at least distract them. The Iranian regime is a blight on human civilization and I wish the West could do more to put an end to it. It looks like the Iranian people are our only hope. >

This has nothing to do with Ukraine. Iran has been targeting dissidents, Jewish and Israeli targets for decades in Asia, South America, Africa and Europe. >

They're also attacking non-Jewish targets. >

Iranian Heisenberg >

Imagine... German Heisenberg. >

Literally impossible >

Mossad is good at this stuff. >

No other sources reporting this story mention them. >

Does that make them worse, or better, though? >

Just irrelevant. >

Mossad maybe invisible but never irrelevant. >

This comment should be at the top, there are no credible sources that the Mossad had anything to do with it.
All credible German media outlets report that it was the FBI who warned Germany back in December, simply because they monitored the Telegram group of the alleged terrorist. >

queue the comment complaining about the US removing Iran democratically elected leader >

At least the Supreme Leader was installed by massive popularity, yay for the will of the people! >

True, the 'democratically elected leader' the US removed, wasn't elected, but appointed by the Shah of Iran, for the second time, like the 20 prime ministers the Shah appointed before him. >

I could have sworn the article yesterday said guy was found but without any actual chemicals/weapons yet? 
Was that wrong and he did have stuff, or was he just in like 'planning phase' or whatever? >

He had it in jars next to flour and baking soda >

Well that's one hell of a game of Russian Roulette if he ever decided to make cookies. . . 
Good gods. >

It’s almost as if Israel were used to dealing with terrorists. >

As a retired chemical officer, those poisons are probably only good for "clandestine emplacement" and not really useful for a broad chemical attack that would kill many people.  The best this guy could have done was to try to make hydrogen cyanide, but that is only lethal in an enclosed space.  Still could have caused a lot of chaos, but pretty limited in the body count. >

assassinations can still be construed as terror attacks depending on the context >

They found nothing. >

Wait, I might have confuse my English, but is the Israel spy agency (Mossad) working FOR the Iranian government to help terrorists in Germany ?
If so, there's so many cynical non-sense in this headline.
Edit: honestly I don't care because I was tired after work and legit didn't understood, but I'll never understand people that downvote a comment that is a genuine question, and where after being explained better ends up with a "thanks" to thosr that helped clarifying. >

Behind arrest, not the attacks >

So they help Germany to arrest Iranian terrorists ? Or help Iran to wrongfully arrest Iranian civilians in Germany ? >

How could terrorists be wrongfully arrested? And why you try to see it negatively?
The helped german authorities >

I don't know, in my head it could be something like a secret agency helping a tyrannical government to set up fake arrests by putting illegal stuff on immigrants that fled because of the regime.
Man I'm so used to reading and hearing about bullshit like that, so nowadays it makes more sense to me than an actual positive news.
Edit: "regime" not "war" >

Israel helping Iran? Maybe with the protests... They are the literally rivals and has opposing interests >

Ikr right ! That's why I was like "wtf ?! How evil are secret agencies", because I've read bad stuff about Mossad previously but I guess they are the hero in this story and that's nice ! >

Cite the bad stuff please >

Well I can't find stuff. I could be bad at searching but most likely I've been poisoned with crack food lol >

What are the odds Mossad actually set this guy up as a false flag they can blame on Iran? I'd say at least 50%. >

Pretty low. Why would they hurt their credibility like that and why do they have to gain? >

Just look at Turkey last year. Israel literally had to send tourists escorted by guards back to Israel, and Turkey sent agents to hunt down Iranian hit squads that targeted Israeli tourists. >

True. In fact German media says it was the Americans. >
