Airports on High Alert: Morocco Warns of Potential Suicide Attack Plot in Germany and France

According to the German media, four suspects suspected of preparing attacks were filmed at Stuttgart airport while taking photos of the terminal and takeoff and landing runways. Police tried to arrest them but the suspects had disappeared by the time they arrived.

Two of the suspects, a father and son, had already been seen at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport on December 13 while taking photos. French police had them under surveillance since the Strasbourg attack.

The Moroccan services provided the names and other information on the four suspects. They are said to be preparing suicide attacks on the Franco-German border, probably at an airport. Morocco would also have transmitted chat conversations of the suspects. "They are waging war on Islam. My brothers and I are here to fight them," reads one of these exchanges.
