A terror plot to kill Europeans in the name of Hamas has been thwarted after seven were arrested across the continent.<\/p>\n
The suspects were arrested in Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands with four suspected of being “long-standing” members of the terror group.<\/p>\n
German officials said terrorists were told to go to Berlin with weapons from a stash at an unknown location in Europe to attack Jewish institutions across the continent.<\/p>\n
One man in the Netherlands and three in Germany were suspected of building a weapons stash to be “kept in a state of readiness in anticipation of potential terrorist attacks” according to the Telegraph.<\/p>\n
The terror group’s leaders in Lebanon supposedly tasked the group to find a \u201cdepot with weapons in Europe, which the organisation had covertly set up there in the past\u201d according to German prosecutors.<\/p>\n
