According to this, 19-year-old Syrian is accused of preparing a serious state-threatening violent crime. According to information from time online, authorities became aware of him because he had announced in chats on social networks to want to commit a stop. But it is still unclear what he was up to with bomb he was supposed to have built.

According to findings of federal prosecutor's office, young man has planned a bomb attack with highly explosive explosives since July and has already prepared concretely. His goal was to kill and injure as many people as possible. Federal Minister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) said that it had succeeded in preventing a "serious terrorist attack in Germany".

The young man should also have had contact via internet to a person who referred to himself as a "soldier of Caliphate", that is, as a follower of terror militia "Islamic State".
