When Kurdish units conquered the then ISIL capital Rakka in October 2017, the two turned to the Kurdish authorities, which detained them in the Kurdish-controlled areas of Syria. Marcia M. had been trying to recruit potential supporters from Syria and to persuade female Islamists in northern Germany via the internet to marry ISIL fighters as a camouflage for the operation, became an informant of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The recruited women were to have invited the fighters to Germany so that they could commit the planned attacks there. The orders for the attacks was traced back to a senior ISIL official with the fighting name Abu Mussab al-Almani alias the Swiss Thomas C., who is said to have been killed fighting in Syria. The plan ultimately failed due to investigators' prior knowledge of attack and because of disintegration of the ISIL militia in Syria. Legal proceedings Arrest warrants against Oguz G. and Marcia M. had been released; He is waiting for his extradition to Germany. Marcia M. was sentenced to eight years and six months imprisonment in 2023 by the higher regional court of Celle.Conti Nadine 2023-09-01 Prozess gegen IS-Rückkehrerin: Lange Haft für Marcia M. https://taz.de/Prozess-gegen-IS-Rueckkehrerin/!5957465/ 2025-07-21 Die Tageszeitung: taz de 0931-9085 See also 2016 Ansbach bombing 2016 Chemnitz terrorism plot 2016 Düsseldorf terrorism plot 2016 Ludwigshafen bombing plot Democratic Federation of Northern Syria Rock am Ring and Rock im Park#2017 festival Islamic terrorism in Europe References Category:2016 crimes in Germany Category:Failed terrorist attempts in Germany Category:Islamic State terrorist incidents in Germany Category:Islamic terrorism in Germany Category:Islamic terrorist incidents in 2016 Category:2016 in Germany Category:Terrorist incidents in Germany in 2016
