Shortly before the Austrian border, the German police were able to arrest an 18-year-old German who allegedly planned an attack motivated by Islamists. According to prosecutors, the young man had planned a trip to Iraq.
According to the information, the suspect wanted to join the Islamic State terror militia there. Before that, the 18-year-old received blueprints of explosives and incendiary bombs. To achieve the goal of killing as many people as possible, the young man also had a fully automatic weapon on his “shopping list”. Frankfurt was chosen as the location of the attack. Authorities have been following the 18-year-old since the summer.
Plan of attack temporarily halted
During a first house search last August, IS flags were seized, among other things. Undercover investigators later learned that the man initially gave up on his planned attack for fear of being discovered. Instead, he wanted to join IS to “slaughter infidels and fight state institutions,” the prosecution’s statement said.
