(Deutsche Welle) Police searches of two garages used by a terrorist suspect in the western German town of Castrop-Rauxel on Monday failed to uncover any hazardous substances, according to authorities.
“We have found nothing in the end that can be used as evidence,” a spokesman for state prosecutors in nearby Düsseldorf said.
The searches came after two Iranian brothers were arrested on suspicion of planning to carry out a terrorist attack with bioweapons.
The brothers, aged 32 and 25, were taken into custody in the Ruhr area town on the weekend for allegedly planning an attack using the toxins cyanide and ricin with the intent of killing “an unspecified number of people,” prosecutors said.
