Being part of a project that is planned to be published in a practitioner-oriented journal on terrorism and counterterrorism issues, this article seeks to explore the alleged terror plot by a Tajik Islamic State cell to attack U.S. military bases in Germany, which was thwarted by German police in April 2020. Drawing on local newspaper reports in Russian, Tajik and Uzbek, the author maps out the entire IS network that was in charge of the plot. The findings suggest that IS maintains clandestine cells across Europe that are responsive to its orders. The group understands the importance of migrant communities as important factors in sustaining terrorist activities. It has thus heavily invested in online propaganda and recruitment operation among vulnerable segments within migrant communities in Europe, including Central Asians. Given the fact that the Central Asian international diaspora is expanding, a risk of radicalisation of a tiny minority of them remains a long term security concern
