A native of the North Caucasian Federal District was arrested in Germany on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack

One of two teenagers detained in Germany suspected of preparing a terrorist attack is a Russian citizen. This is a 16-year-old resident of Wittstock (Brandenburg) named Rasul M. This is reported by BILD in Russian.

The second person arrested is a 15-year-old teenager with Afghan roots, Edris D. from Burscheid (North Rhine-Westphalia).

Presumably, the detainees wanted to carry out a terrorist attack using improvised explosive devices or a small truck. The synagogue in Cologne and the Christmas market were mentioned as possible targets.

According to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul, one of the arrested “wrote in a chat about plans to commit a terrorist attack.”

“Eventually they agreed on a very specific plan to attack the Christmas market. It sounded very specific,” said the regional minister.

According to police, both minors consider themselves members of ISIS.
