German police early Wednesday arrested a young Bosnian man and conducted several searches in the west of the country to investigate the financing of an “Islamist terrorist attack.”
The suspect was arrested in an early morning operation by a specialised police unit in the Essen and Dortmund area, authorities said in a statement.
The police investigation began due to suspicions of organised fraud, and authorities later determined that the funds collected “were to be used to finance an Islamist terrorist attack,” the statement said.
