(Jerusalem Post) The Düsseldorf Public Prosecutor’s Office arrested a 15-year-old Turkish-German teenager for allegedly planning Islamist-style attacks against European Jewry, Spiegel reported on Thursday.
The police reportedly classified the teenager as a “threat.”
The teenager had been in contact with Islamist terrorists online, according to information obtained by the German news site. The Islamist had reportedly begun grooming the teenager to commit an attack following the stabbing spree committed by an ISIS-affiliated Syrian asylum-seeker in Solingen in August.
The Solingen attack saw three people stabbed to death and a further eight were wounded.
