Chance of Germany currently being the source of the threat
The Al Qaeda plot for terrorist attacks in Europe first began with the arrest of a man. Cable News Network reports that this man was a German citizen. A jihadist group recruited Ahmed Sidiqi Algerian who left with 10 others from Pakistan in 2009. In Afghanistan, coalition forces were being fought with this group. That was when the capturing of Sidiqi happened. Sidiqi had converted to Sunni from Shia, and began attending the Taiba mosque in Hamburg. The group was recruited from there. The Taiba mosque is known for being the mosque attended by Mohammed Atta, who was the leader among the men involved within the 9/11 attacks.
