13th September 2024
German authorities said Friday they had arrested a 27-year-old Syrian man planning an Islamist machete attack on army soldiers. The suspect had planned to attack Bundeswehr soldiers in Hof, northern Bavaria, during their lunch break, “aiming to kill as many of them as possible,” prosecutors in Munich said.
The Syrian, an “alleged follower of a radical Islamic ideology”, was arrested on Thursday on charges of planning “a serious act of violence endangering the state”.
The man had acquired two heavy knives “around 40 centimetres in length” in recent days, prosecutors said.”The accused wanted to attract attention and create a feeling of insecurity among the population,” they said.
