With a Direct Link to the Iranian Regime: The Terror Network Striking Europe Again and Again

A terror network operating in Europe, in coordination with the Iranian regime, is causing panic and murder across the continent. Its modus operandi exploits at-risk children and teenagers recruited on social media. Europol's chief calls it "calculated outsourcing of murder." The OTF GRIMM task force unites 11 countries. The link to Iran tightened after Rawa Majid fled to Tehran. A notable case: an 18-year-old Norwegian boy was arrested in Britain before an assassination, after being recruited for $28,500.

A terror network operating in Europe, in close coordination with the Iranian regime, is causing panic and numerous murders across the continent. The organization's modus operandi is based on exploiting children and teenagers in at-risk situations, recruited on social media and given instructions in a manner resembling video games. Andy Kraag, head of Europol's European Centre for Organised Crime, defines this as "calculated outsourcing of murders." The phenomenon led to the establishment of a special task force named OTF GRIMM, uniting 11 countries, including Britain, Sweden, France, Germany, and Norway. The link to the Iranian regime tightened after Rawa Majid fled from Sweden to Tehran, and was required to operate the network of assassins against regime opponents, including dissidents, journalists, and Israeli targets. The network is attributed with a hand grenade attack on the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen. A notable case is that of Johannes Netland, an 18-year-old Norwegian boy arrested in Britain, after being recruited by a 16-year-old boy, "Generalen," for about $28,500. He was handed over to "Agent 47," who booked a flight ticket, helped issue an emergency passport, and guided him via Signal. The organization, "Foxtrot," does not intend to pay the young assassins, exploiting their lack of understanding.
