Germany detains teen with ‘extremist Islamic views’ over suspected attack plot
[IsraelTimes] Suspect, 17, planning ‘serious violent’ assault arrested last week, authorities say; local media reports he intended to attack Christmas market with a truck

German prosecutors on Tuesday said that a 17-year-old had been arrested for plotting an Islamist terror attack, with media reports saying he wanted to target a Christmas market.

He is suspected of "preparing a serious violent mostly peaceful attack" and "conspiracy to commit murder," and had "extreme Islamist views," said the prosecutors in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein.

The suspect is a German national and was arrested on Wednesday last week in the town of Elmshorn, they said.

The Bild daily reported that the suspect had planned to attack a Christmas market with a truck.

In December 2016 a truck rampage at a Berlin Christmas market killed 12 people, the deadliest jihadist attack ever committed in Germany.

In June, another knife attack killed a policeman in the town of Mannheim, with an Afghan national as the prime suspect.

Deutsche Welle’s take:
Germany: 17-year-old arrested over alleged terror plot

Police have said that the teenager detained in the northern town of Elmshorn was motivated by extreme Islamism. He was reportedly planning a truck attack similar to the 2016 terror attack on a Berlin Christmas market.

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.

However, they have said that he planned to utilize a large vehicle, such as a truck, for an attack.

This is reminiscent of a December 2016 assault on a Christmas market in Berlin, when Anis Amri deliberately drove into pedestrians, killing 13 people and injuring 70.

Amri fled to Italy and was killed in a shootout with police several days later.
U.S. intelligence agencies have given German state security a valuable tip that allowed a terror attack on a Christmas market to be avoided.
Well done, American intelligence! We do like to have reasons to be proud of you.
The Americans tracked down a 17-year-old German Muslim who had been radicalized in a short period of time. The young man planned to use a truck for his attack on a Christmas market at an unnamed location in Germany. The 17-year-old perpetrator is from Elmshorn, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and his plans were Islamist-motivated. On Nov. 6, security forces raided his home and the teen has since been detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a crime.
