Last week, three Syrian refugees in Germany helped capture a fellow refugee who was allegedly planning to bomb a Berlin airport. Investigators say the would-be bomber, Jaber al-Bakr, was likely an ISIS allegiant. His captors are being hailed as heroes.<\/p>\n
Al-Bakr had been on the run for two days. Security forces raided his apartment and circulated the suspect\u2019s photo on social media. According to USA Today<\/em>, al-Bakr approached three fellow Syrian refugees at a train station and asked if he could stay at their apartment. One of the refugees, identified by German media as Mohamed A, said they took in al-Bakr because they recognized him and knew they had to turn him in. Mohamed A told German press, \u201cI was so angry at him. I won’t accept such a thing\u2014especially here in Germany, the country that opened its door to us.\u201d<\/p>\n The three friends trussed up al-Bakr on their couch, refused his monetary bribes, and turned him over to the police. German authorities have issued public gratitude to the three men for taking a stand against terrorism. The suspect committed suicide in jail later in the week. Although Syrian refugees in Germany have left the war in Syria behind, the trauma still follows them.<\/p>\n \u00bb Read full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00bb Also read Life for Some Christians in German Refugee Shelters \u201cStill Unbearable\u201d<\/a> (World Watch Monitor) and watch a video report about how a church in Macedonia is responding to the refugees passing through their country<\/a> (SEND International).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: Missions Network News, October 16, 2016 Last week, three Syrian refugees in Germany helped capture a fellow refugee who was allegedly planning to bomb a Berlin airport.
