According to Hurriyet, the attacks were due to be staged in churches located in various European cities as well as on major sites for public leisure and entertainment activities.
Meanwhile, German police are reportedly searching for five individuals suspected of having plotted to blow themselves up during New Year celebrations at two train stations in Munich, which were evacuated on January 1 due to terror concerns.
