Police Nab Second German Train Bomb Suspect in Lebanon

The second fugitive suspect in failed bomb attacks on two German trains last month has been arrested in Lebanon after he turned himself in, according to Germany's federal prosecutor general's office.


The 19-year-old Lebanese student turned himself in to the police in Tripoli, Germany's federal prosecutor's office confirmed on Thursday. German authorities said they were working to have the suspect extradited to Germany.

Identified by police as Jihad Hamad earlier this week, the suspect is believed to have planted bombs on two German trains last month. Hamad stands accused of membership in a terrorist organization as well as large-scale attempted murder and an attempt to detonate explosives.

The bombs, made with propane tanks and crude detonating devices, failed to go off but authorities say they would have killed a large number of people if they had detonated.

German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that security officials had found explosives, wires, and detonators during the search of a Cologne apartment where Hamad had lived.

Citing unnamed security sources, the paper said that authorities believed the material was used for making the two suitcase bombs discovered on trains in Dortmund and Cologne last month.

Security officials believe that the two suspects -- both Lebanese nationals studying in Germany -- assembled the bombs in Cologne before they transported them to the trains in suitcases.

German police nabbed the first suspect in the northern city of Kiel last Sunday. The other, Hamad, had evaded arrest until now and fled Germany.
