In the Lüneburg district, the police arrested a person from the Islamist scene and apparently foiled a planned attack. Several objects were searched.
On Friday evening, the police carried out a raid in the Stade and Lüneburg districts and arrested a suspect of Islamist terrorism. The reason for this was “serious evidence of an imminent serious crime,” according to the Lüneburg police department in its press release. Police do not see any reference to the attack in Vienna a few days ago.
It was not clear if it was a man or a woman. A spokesman for the Lüneburg police department declined to provide further information on the age or specific suspicions on Saturday. The “Bild” reported that attacks were planned against police officers, which the authorities had described as serious.
Intensive reconnaissance and pursuit
The detained person is now in prolonged detention, which can last up to 14 days. This was preceded by an intense investigation and search for the suspect. He should appear in district court soon. It was not clear if it was a man or a woman. A spokesman for the Lüneburg police department declined to provide further information about the age or the specific suspicion on Saturday.
After the attack in Austria, investigators searched the homes of four young men in Germany on Friday. This also included two men in Osnabrück. He is not considered a suspect, but is said to have had direct or indirect connections to the Austrian killer. Another search for a suspected Salafist in Bremen was also part of this investigation.
