Bomb Attack on Gurdwara: Three Teenagers Sentenced in Germany

ESSEN, Germany—A German Court of Essen has sentenced three German born minors for upto seven years at a juvenile detention center for carrying out a bomb blast in the Gurdwara Sahib of Essen.

The bomb blast carried out by these minors on April 16, 2016 had left the Granthi (Priest) injured with serious burns, along with two others suffering injuries from shards of glass.

The court charged two of the group with attempted murder, while the third minor was held guilty of being a part of a criminal conspiracy as he was not present in carrying out the bomb blast. The judge ruled that the teens should serve sentences of seven years, six years & nine months , with six years in a juvenile detention center.

The culprits Yusuf, Mohammad and Tolga (last names omitted) were aged 16 years when they had detonated a homemade explosive device outside the temple. The bomb which was crafted from a fire extinguisher packed with explosive chemicals had destroyed the entrance to the temple.

The prosecutors said that the three offenders carried out the bomb attack because they mistook Sikhs as ‘non-believers of God’. They also targeted the Gurdwara Sahib over an alleged mistreatment of Muslims by Sikhs in northern India. The prosecutors further said that the teens were radicalized via social media in 2015.

Situated in western part of North Rhine-Westphalia state of Germany, the Essen town has around 200 Sikhs living in it.

  1. Agreed Miss Kaur – What Sikhs attacking muslims where? As for India they are targeting Muslims and Sikhs and any other minorities….. Fishy ….. Indian intelligence agencies stooping low to target Gurdwara in the west as they did few years ago stating two Gurdwaras in England were providing terrorists…. when Gurdwara in Birmingham is actually next door to the Police station…… completely lunatics……

  2. ummmmm wtfffff??? why these muslim kids bombing a sikh gurdwara? makes absolutely no sense, and sikhs mistreating muslims in northern India? ummmm wtf who has been misleading these kids…. hmmm i wouldn’t be surprised if Indian intelligence was somehow involved trying to find young muslims and radicalizing them and encouraging them to attack sikhs…. nonetheless, this is messed up.

  3. Against a million mad men, you would only find a handful of people who are sane in this world,. These mad people are carrying out devilish, satanic propaganda and thrusting their agenda globally… Beware.
