Summary

German authorities arrested three men, including two German-Lebanese brothers aged 15 and 20 and a 22-year-old German-Turkish man, for planning an Islamist terror attack.

Police discovered an assault rifle, knives, tactical gear, and evidence of preparations for a “serious act of violence.”

While the plot was in its early stages and posed no immediate threat, investigators noted the suspects’ strong religious ideology and support for the Islamic State.

The arrests took place in Mannheim and Hesse, with the men remanded into custody pending trial.
