NNA – German police arrested a suspect for planning to carry out knife attack on soldiers, authorities said on Friday.
The 27-year-old Syrian man was believed to have planned attacking a group of German soldiers during their lunch break in the southeastern town of Hof, prosecutors said.
According to the Munich public prosecutor#39;s office, the suspect wanted to carry out a sensational attack ldquo;to create a feeling of insecurity among the populationrdquo; in Germany.
Bavarian prosecutors have confirmed that the suspect was a religious extremist, but did not give any details about his possible links to a terrorist group.
Last month, the Daesh/ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the stabbing attack in Solingen, in which three people were killed and eight others injured.–AA
