The public prosecutor's office in Vienna identified the suspect as an Iraqi father of five, who was granted refugee status about 20 years ago.
Twenty years? There’s gratitude for you! Check the family to see if Pops radicalized the kiddos, too. If yes, send them home now — he can follow after his jail sentence is served. Good find, Elmerert Hupens2660.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Iraqi Armed Forces scored another major victory against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) this week, as their troops eliminated a group of hard boyz that launched a big attack in the Salaheddine.
According to a military communique from Baghdad, the Iraqi Armed Forces came under a heavy attack from an Islamic State group at the Alas Oilfield on Sunday evening.
The Iraqi Armed Forces engaged in fierce combat for a number of hours with the terrorist combatants at the Alas Oilfield before they were able to eliminate many of the Islamic State fighters.
"They retreated to an unknown place taking back the maimed with them," the North Oil Police forces said in a statement on Monday.
The attack by the Islamic State reportedly came from one of their sleeper cells that is currently active inside the Salaheddine Governorate.
In 2017, the Iraqi Armed Forces declared that the Salaheddine Governorate was liberated after a long battle with the Islamic State hard boyz near the Baiji Refinery.
However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... these Islamic State sleeper cells have since emerged in the Salaheddine Governorate after their defeat at the hands of the Iraqi Armed Forces.

GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinian militants fired rockets from Gaza into Israel on Tuesday, drawing retaliatory air strikes and breaking a day-long lull in cross-border fighting between Israel and Hamas that could impact an Israeli election two weeks away.
The biggest Israeli-Palestinian escalation in months, which began on Monday with the longest-range Palestinian rocket attack to cause casualties in Israel in five years, had eased after Egyptian mediation.
But even if the crisis subsides, it could shadow the impending Israeli election on April 9 in which right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has campaigned on a tough security platform.
In the wake of Palestinian rocket attacks and Israeli air strikes, Israel said it reserved the right to strike again and kept its troops and tanks massed at the Gaza frontier.
The border was mostly quiet on Tuesday and the military lifted its security restrictions in the area. But after darkness fell, at least two rockets launched from Gaza triggered sirens on the Israeli side of the border, the military said.
[Ynet] Violent disturbances have broken out along the Gazoo border with Paleostinians rioters hurling stones and the sound of kabooms heard in several locations.
[Ynet] Officials at a Paleostinian university in the West Bank say undercover Israeli forces have raided the campus and tossed in the calaboose Please don't kill me! three students.
Lubna Abdelhadi, a spokeswoman for the Bir Zeit University, says the armed commandos, disguised as locals, entered the campus early on Tuesday and grabbed the students, believed to be Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, activists, while they were sleeping.
The students were apparently hiding on campus to try and avoid arrest.
Israeli forces had previously raided the university in 2017 and ransacked the student council, confiscating materials used by political groups.
The Israeli military said it tossed in the calaboose Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! nine Paleostinian suspects in routine overnight West Bank raids, but would not specify further.
As of midnight Israel Time. Photos of the aftermath can be enjoyed here.
[IsraelTimes] Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", sites around Khan Younis bombed; alarms triggered twice in Ashkelon industrial zone; fresh exchange comes day after major flareup as both sides threaten to escalate attacks.
Israel Defense Forces said its strikes were in response not only to the rocket fired at the Eshkol region, but also to the launching of several airborne incendiary devices earlier in the day and a cross-border arson attack in which several Paleostinian breached the Gazoo security fence and set fire to an abandoned Israeli sniper’s nest.
The Israeli Air Force launched renewed strikes in the Gazoo Strip on Tuesday night and early Wednesday in response to rocket attacks, amid growing concerns of war in the coastal enclave.
Shortly after the start of the Israeli bombing raids, a rocket was fired from Gazoo at an industrial park south of the city of Ashkelon, the army said. A spokesperson for the city said the rocket had been intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system west of Ashkelon. No injuries or damage were reported.

A nice opportunity to tidy up some infrastructure without messy 'civilian' casualties. Also, a lot of scurrying to take note of, destinations and whatnot. Like traffic analysis, but with real traffic!

One of these days the IDF’s engineers will penetrate the tunnels under Gaza City’s main hospital without having to come in through the top, and that’ll put an end to a great many little projects.

I agree that getting explosives into the Hamas tunnels would be a game changer. Hamas keeps both troops and missiles in its tunnels as well as other military equipment.
Apparently, the technical difficulty is considerable or the IDF would have done it by now.

Our airforce just struck several Hamas terror targets in Gaza.
If Hamas think that we’ll sit idly by as their rocket fire, explosives, and breaches of Israel’s border fence threaten the lives of Israeli civilians - they’re wrong.

[Rudaw] Seven fighters of the Manbij Military Council were killed in a midnight "terror attack" on a checkpoint in the city, the force announced Tuesday morning.
"A terrorist attack was staged on one of the checkpoints inside the city of Manbij at midnight and as a result seven fighters on guard duty were martyred," the Manbij Military Council said in a statement.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights described it as a "bloody attack" staged by a suspected Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) sleeper cell.
Later on Tuesday, ISIS grabbed credit for the attack, AFP reported.
The target was a checkpoint of the self-defence forces on the Manbij-Aleppo road, the Observatory stated.
A number of other fighters were also injured, some critically, so the corpse count may rise.
Manbij is in a state of alert while forces look for the perpetrators of the attack, according to the Observatory, noting the attack came a few days after the arrests of more than 100 people suspected of belonging to ISIS or associated with Ottoman Turkish-backed forces.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) declared the end of the so-called ISIS caliphate in a ceremony in eastern Deir ez-Zor province on March 23. At the ceremony, co-chair of the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), Ilham Ahmed, said the next stage of the fight against ISIS is to eliminate sleeper cells and then combat the group’s ideology.
Manbij, located at a crossroads in northern Syria, was once an ISIS hub. It was liberated from the group in August 2016 by the SDF, led by the local Manbij Military Council and backed by the global coalition against ISIS.
The multi-ethnic city has remained a flashpoint, however, with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the most dubious NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... ally.... repeatedly threatening a military operation to remove Kurdish forces from the city. The United States reached a deal with Turkey that has seen their two militaries conduct joint patrols in the Manbij area.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces moved their troops to the front-lines with the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northern Aleppo on Monday, a local source near the town of Tal Rifa’at told al-Masdar.
According to the source, the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) and their allies were replaced by the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces, who later took up positions near the YPG’s lines.
The source said this move comes as the Ottoman Turkish and Russian armed forces prepare to reopen the Aleppo-Gaziantep Highway.
This highway is a major roadway in northern Syria that was once the most important trade route between The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... and the Aleppo Governorate.
The Russian and Ottoman Turkish armed forces will be present along this highway in order to maintain the security of all travelers.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) conducted a sweeping operation against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) in the eastern countryside of the al-Sweida Governorate this week.
According to a military report from al-Sweida, the Syrian Arab Army identified and stormed an Islamic State hideout near the town of Kara in the Badiya al-Sham region of southeast Syria.
The report said the Syrian Arab Army engaged the Islamic State in a brief battle at a cave near Kara before killing one fighter and arresting two others that were present in the area on Monday.
Video footage showing the aftermath of the operation was released by the Syrian Ministry of Defense on Monday:
Many Islamic State turbans are still believed to be hiding in the caves of the Badiya al-Sham region; this has prompted the Syrian Arab Army and their allies to step up their operations inside this area.
Previously, a captured Islamic State member told the Syrian Army that there is an estimated 200 turbans still hiding out in the al-Sweida countryside.
A source from the Syrian military said that the captured Islamic State fighter’s testimony was likely accurate given their previous attacks against the government forces in the al-Sweida Governorate.
