(12 Nov 2019) Authorities in Germany detained three alleged supporters of the Islamic State group on Tuesday on suspicion of preparing a deadly attack against non-Muslims. Frankfurt prosecutor Nadja Niesen said some 170 police officers searched three apartments in the nearby city of Offenbach and detained the men, who were already known to authorities.
Niesen said the main suspect, a 24-year-old German citizen with Macedonian roots, had already acquired materials needed to make explosives and searched for firearms online.
Police seized various substances and electronic devices at the man's apartment.
The other two suspects are Turkish citizens aged 21 and 22.
All three suspects are alleged to have spoken of their support for the Islamic State group in the presence of witnesses, who informed authorities, Niesen said.
