Germany’s interior minister says the Syrian man arrested for a suspected Islamic extremist bomb plot underwent a security check last year, but it turned up nothing suspicious.
Jaber Albakr, a 22-year-old who had been granted asylum, was arrested Monday in Leipzig after three fellow Syrians tied him up and alerted police. He arrived in Germany early last year.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said Wednesday that “there was a check against security authorities’ data in 2015, but without any hits.” He added “it’s not clear when he was radicalized.”
Authorities believe the man had links to the Islamic State group.
De Maiziere said the Syrian captors’ “behavior deserves praise and recognition.” He responded to calls for them to be fast-tracked for asylum by saying that they already have it.

Surprise. Surprise. Surprise.
Deserves praise? Fast track their citizenry for tieing him up? Wtf? You people are clearly demon posessed because there is no common sense coming out of your mouth.
This news is no surprise. Remember Homeland Security and the UN are running that show. And now that Comey has compromised the FBI who is guarding the hen house. The HS, UN and FBI are all in collusion with this horrid administration and the congress is run by the go along, get along rinos mostly with a healthy backup of the dems. Rinos and dems are one and the same for the destruction of this country. Both seek profit and power in the NWO. Disgusting criminals and traitors. They open their mouths and everything they say is a lie! BO and Hillary are both sick demented power hungry psychopaths though BO leans more to the narcissistic sociopath. I haven’t heard he leaves dead bodies in his wake.
BRAVO SUSAN!!!!
P.S. Are you single??
