    A week ago, a 29-year-old Tunisian, named by authorities as Sief Allah H., was arrested in Cologne on suspicion of planning an Islamist-motivated attack and building a “biological weapon” using ricin.

    The BfV source said Islamic State militants had experimented with ricin in the past and had also manufactured it. Islamic State, the source added, had offered detailed instructions on how to produce ricin in a handbook.

    Holger Muench, president of the Federal Criminal Office, told the broadcaster RBB-Inforadio that the suspect had manufactured ricin, a poison found in castor beans, and that objects had been found in searches that could be used to make a bomb.

    He added that the target for the suspected attack was not clear.

    I hope Germany enjoys their new multiculturalism. Muslims make no secret of their Halacha to kill the infidels yet most countries welcome them. Go figure.

    There have been two biological terror attacks in the US. Most people could not name one of them. I have other things to worry about.
