VW ordered to re-hire ‘ISIS recruiter’ sacked for telling colleagues they would ‘all die’

VW Volkswagen has been told by a court to reinstate a suspected Islamic State (ISIS) militant it fired.

Samir B., 30, was given the sack in 2016 for threatening co-workers and pledging to join jihadists fighting in Syria.

Volkswagen said it took the threats against its employees “seriously” and feared he might mount a terror attack at the corporate HQ in Wolfsburg during a meeting of thousands of workers and shareholders.

Authorities said two of his associates travelled to Syria in 2014 to join Islamic State and both of them are now dead.
