Weapons Used by Paris Attackers Could Have Come From Germany
A spokesman for the Stuttgart prosecutor’s office confirmed the arrest of an arms dealer but told AFP he could not confirm or deny a connection with the Paris attacks. Police in Berlin late on Thursday evacuated housing in the south of the German capital after finding a “potentially dangerous” device in the auto of two men arrested during an operation against suspected Islamist extremists.
The murder weapons used by Jihadi terrorists for the Paris terror attacks may have come from Germany, it has been revealed, according to Dailymail.
Prosecutors haven’t commented on the Bild report.
Bild newspaper reported that four assault rifles – two AK-47s made in China and two Zasatva M70s made in the former Yugoslavia – were sold online by the man on 7 November to a buyer of “Arab descent”.
Prosecutors within the southern city of Stuttgart stated in that the 34-year-old, whose name wasn’t given in accordance with Germany privacy laws, was arrested (taken in to custody) Tues.
‘Four emails on his smartphone proved the sale of four Kalashnikov assault rifles to an Arab in Paris!’
The attackers in Paris killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more on November 13.
“He is believed to have built the parts for this himself”, the spokesperson said, adding that only pistols had been found.
