(Deutsche Welle) A man suspected of carrying out attacks against Turkish-owned businesses in the Bavarian town of Waldkraiburg is a sympathizer of the Islamic State, police authorities said Sunday in an online press conference.

The 25-year-old justified his hatred towards Turks and his “anti-Turkish worldview” by saying he was a supporter of the Islamic State, head attorney general Georg Freutsmiedl said.

The DPA news agency cited police as saying the suspect was carrying pipe bombs on him when he was arrested. He was also in possession of a firearm and had been planning more attacks, though initial investigations indicate no concrete plans.

Authorities did not say whether he had accomplices or sympathizers.
