Details Point to a Known Suspect
Even without naming him directly, the outlet shared identifying details, including that Mr. X is in his 40s, that his father holds a senior position within Hamas, that he was previously arrested in Egypt over ten years ago, that he was taken into custody in London this past November in connection with the plot, that he had recorded a video ahead of time announcing the scheme, and that he now faces extradition to Germany over allegations he helped move weapons to a cache found in Vienna. Those specifics line up with a man identified in German court documents as Mohammed A., who the German outlet Die Welt has reported is the son of Hamas politburo figure Basem Naim.
