Syrian bomb plotter commits suicide in German police custody

A Syrian migrant suspected of planning a bomb attack on a Berlin airport has committed suicide in a detention center in Leipzig, the Justice Ministry for the state of Saxony said on Wednesday.

Investigators believe Jaber Albakr, 22, who arrived in Germany last year, was close to staging an attack comparable to those that killed 130 people in Paris last November and 32 in Belgium in March.

"On the evening of October 12, 2016, Jaber Albakr, who was suspected of planning a serious attack, took his life in the detention center at Leipzig correctional hospital," the ministry said in a statement on its website.

The ministry said it would give more details at a news conference in Dresden on Thursday at 0900 GMT.

Spiegel Online reported that Albakr had been under round-the-clock surveillance in police custody in Leipzig due to an acute risk of suicide and hunger strike. It was not yet clear how he had killed himself, Spiegel said.

German news agency DPA reported that Albakr had hung himself in his cell.

The fear of being talked to in a very stern manner must have proved too much.

It amazes me how often these people turn up dead before they get a chance to spew their ideology in open court where it can become part of the public record, where everyone can hear their plans for us, the societies that take them in out of a sense of kindness and brotherhood.

Actually, that’s not why we take them in. We take them in because one political party thinks they’ll boost their fortunes in the future.

That’s why our liberal leaders do it, and it’s why liberals in Germany, the U.K., and elsewhere in Europe do it.

There aren’t too many liberals in the former satellites of the USSR, so they’re kicking them out and building walls.

There should always be a 6 meter length of strong twined rope and a strong wooden chair ‘accidentally’ left in such prisoner cells with a solitary occupant. The savings in court time and public money would fund many schools and hospitals!

They were hoping to get info from him about other terrorists, but he was just a low-level doofus, so the savings for the taxpayers probably outweigh any loss of intel.
