Germany: 17-year-old arrested over alleged terror plot

Prosecutors in the northern German city of Flensburg said on Tuesday that a youth arrested last week was planning an Islamist terror attack.

He had “sufficiently concrete plans for an attack” to warrant an arrest, they added, saying there was also evidence of his radicalization.

The young man had been detained a week earlier in the town of Elmshorn and remains in custody while police continue the investigation.

Authorities have not confirmed much about the suspect, including how they caught wind of his plan or the details of his arrest.
