Berlin – London – Zaytoun News
The German Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office announced that it issued an arrest warrant last week for a British citizen named Mohammed A. (39), on suspicion of being associated with a “foreign terrorist organization.” He is suspected of being a member of Hamas, according to the official statement.
German newspapers reported that the 39-year-old, who was arrested last Monday in London, “is believed to have family ties to a senior Hamas leader and may be the son of Hamas official Bassam Naeem.”
According to the prosecution, Mohammed A. met twice during the summer of 2025 in Berlin with Abed Al G., who had previously been detained in Germany in investigations regarding planned attacks on Israeli or Jewish institutions.
During these meetings, Mohammed A. allegedly received five pistols and ammunition from Abed Al G., which he then transported to Vienna, Austria, and stored there, according to German investigations.
Sources indicate that the alleged purpose of this operation was “to prepare terrorist attacks against Israeli or Jewish institutions in Germany and Europe.”
Separately, three men were detained on October 1, 2025, in Berlin, German citizen Abed Al G., Wael F. M., born in Lebanon, and German citizen Ahmed A. A security source stated that the three, aged in their 30s or 40s, are suspected of being “foreign agents” of Hamas planning attacks on Jewish or Israeli institutions within Germany. During the arrests, an AK‑47 assault rifle, several pistols, and ammunition were seized.
In Austria, the domestic intelligence service in Vienna announced that it had uncovered an arms cache linked to the same network, containing five pistols and ten magazines stored in a suitcase inside a rented storage unit. The British citizen Mohammed A. was arrested in London based on the German arrest warrant.
The Austrian government confirmed that the investigation was international and coordinated between Austria, Germany, and the United Kingdom, noting that the cell/network planned to target Israeli or Jewish institutions in Europe.
