According to Bayerischer Rundfunk media outlet, a 23-year old Syrian was detained by the special forces in the district of Biberach. His apartment had already been searched.

The detained suspect is accused of joining the Daesh in 2013 and fighting for the terrorist group in Syria.

Germany has been on edge after a string of Islamist-linked attacks last year, the deadliest one taking place at a Berlin Christmas market, when a self-confessed Daesh member, Anis Amri, drove a stolen truck into a crowd, killing 12 people and injuring 56 others.
