German federal police (BKA) said on Tuesday they were investigating a German Islamist who has issued a call to Jihad on the Internet.

The BKA named the man as Eric B, 20, from the western German state of Saarland, according to German news agency DPA.

In the video message, Eric can be seen with another fighter with his face covered.

“Come over to the Jihad, for that is your way to paradise. If you cannot come, then help us with your wealth,” he said in German, calling himself Abdulgaffar al-Almani.

The BKA said the man, who comes from Neunkirchen, was known to them as having had contact with three alleged Islamist terrorists arrested in September last year.

The three were planning large bomb attack on U.S. facilities and personnel in Germany.

The BKA has considered the young man as extremely dangerous and believed the video could presage a suicide attack in Germany.
