May 26, 2016 00:40

German police had received information about plans to carry out a bomb attack on a gurdwara in Essen by a group of teenagers from one of the suspects' mother some weeks before an explosive was detonated there, media reports claimed today.

Even though police in North Rhine Westphalia had initiated some punitive measures and took other steps after receiving the information on the attack plans from one of the suspects' mother, a final evaluation of the documents given by her took place only on April 26, 10 days after the attack on Nanaksar Satsangh Sabha Gurdwara, the reports said.

Sixteen year old Yussuf T and Mohammad B, the two main suspects in the attack as well as their 17 year old accomplice Tolga I had drawn up detailed plans to fight "infidels" and made notices and sketches on a writing pad.

The trio also assigned different tasks among themselves and picked up Yussuf as the "Emir" (group leader) while Tolga was given the responsibility to procure money and Mohammed was put in charge of "assembly", TV channels WDR and NDR and the Munich daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported, citing the findings of an investigative work by a team of their journalists.
