BERLIN—German prosecutors have filed terrorism charges against a Turkish-German dual citizen allegedly linked to a member of a cell that plotted to attack U.S. targets in Germany.
Federal prosecutors said Wednesday the 24-year-old, identified only as Kadir T. in line with German privacy laws, was charged with supporting a foreign terrorist organization and violating German export laws.
The suspect, who was arrested in August, regularly attended meetings of a group centering around Adem Yilmaz, who used them to recruit candidates for the radical Islamic Jihad Union, prosecutors said.
