Tirana Police arresting a terrorrist (archive) |
He was declared internationally wanted by a federal court in Karlsruhe, Germany, on suspicion of being a member of a foreign terrorist organization established as a terrorist cell in Germany to commit jihad on behalf of ISIS.
The 24-year-old had entered Albania through Rinas airport on February 17, who is suspected of living in Tirana with some of his acquaintances also from Tajikistan.
Zukhurov is part of a group of terrorists, five of whom were arrested by German police on April 15 in Berlin.
They had planned to carry out attacks on individuals who had been critical of Islam, and had also planned to carry out terrorist attacks on US military bases in Germany. The plan of their attacks, according to the German prosecution, was also Tajikistan, their country of origin.
According to German media, two of the suspects had traveled to Albania to carry out an assassination attempt, for which 36,000 euros would be paid, but their plan failed, and they returned to Germany.
Meanwhile, the operation to capture the 24-year-old terrorist in Albania was organized by the anti-terror dpartament, and meanwhile, the investigation continues to reveal other connections.
Zukhurov's file is already in the hands of the Tirana prosecutor's office, from where will be carried out the procedures for his extradition to Germany.
