BERLIN (Sputnik) — The suspect was arrested in the town of Mutterstadt on Friday after inmates in a prison in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia reported overhearing a conversation in which the planning of a terrorist attack was alluded to.
"There is no information on this man's exact plans," Jaeger said at a press conference organized by the N-24 broadcaster, adding that during police questioning new details emerged "however, not about terrorist attack plans but maybe about crimes in Syria."
Last month, an Afghan asylum seeker carried out an ax and knife attack on a train near Bavaria's Wuerzburg, wounding five tourists. A few days later, a Syrian refugee set off a bomb outside a music festival in Ansbach, also in Bavaria, killing himself and wounding 15 bystanders. Daesh claimed responsibility for both attacks.
