(Deutsche Welle) Austrian authorities have issued a European arrest warrant for a suspect detained in Germany over an alleged plot to attack the historic cathedral in Cologne, German police said on Sunday.
On Christmas Eve, a 30-year-old Tajik national was held in the city of Wesel, some 100 kilometers north of Cologne.
Deportation proceedings against him were underway and a court in Cologne had issued a custody order, police said.
The European arrest warrant, a simplified cross-border judicial surrender procedure, is applicable in all member states of the European Union.
