Two men of Syrian origin caught in Geneva with explosives


With terrorists surfacing in the most unexpected of places, it is becoming a major problem for security agencies to tackle this new and growing menace. Two people of Syrian origin had been arrested in Geneva - it is suspected that the duo was transporting 'explosives and toxic gases'. This was revealed as a part of a probe into a terror threat.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 12 December 2015.
Both of them are accused of the 'manufacture, concealment and transport of explosives and toxic gases' as informed by the office of the federal prosecutor's office.
Moreover, they are also under suspicion of violating Swiss law prohibiting 'groups like Al-Qaeda, Islamic State and similar organizations'. The arrest happened in the Geneva region and the police have confirmed about finding traces of explosives inside the car.
The western city has remained on high alert as a result of increased jihadist threat in Switzerland. The Geneva region has raised its alert level to three on a five-point scale following fears of a potential terror attack. Armed police were deployed at sensitive locations across the city, which is home to the UN's European headquarters.
Incidentally, Geneva is almost entirely enclosed by France, a country still reeling from the jihadist attacks that left 130 people dead in Paris last month.
