An Iraqi national charged over alleged plans for at least 18 attacks in Europe pleads not guilty in court, according to multiple reports. The accused person appears before a judge and rejects the allegations, while arguing that he is acting in a “war situation” rather than as a threat. He tells the court that he considers himself a “prisoner of war” and says women and children are being killed “by your rockets.”
The charges described by the outlets connect the alleged plotting to claimed retaliation linked to the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran. Reported court proceedings focus on the plea rather than on evidence, with no consistent additional details provided across the sources about dates, locations, or specific targets. Across outlets, the main points are that the person pleads not guilty, that prosecutors allege a Europe-wide scale of at least 18 attack plans, and that the accused frames his actions in the context of conflict involving Iran. The case is ongoing as the matter proceeds through the legal process.
