Six people were detained in connection with what police and prosecutors allege was a plan to carry out an extremist attack on Berlin’s half-marathon Sunday, German authorities said.

 

“There were isolated indications that those arrested, aged between 18 and 21 years, were participating in the preparation of a crime in connection with this event,” prosecutors and police wrote in a joint statement.

 

Berlin police tweeted that six people were detained in co-operation with the city’s prosecutor’s office.

 

The German daily Die Welt first reported that police foiled a plot to attack race spectators and participants with knives.

 

The main suspect allegedly knew Anis Amri, a Tunisian who killed 12 people and injured dozens more when he drove a truck into a Christmas market in Berlin in December 2016, Die Welt reported.

If a man loudly rushes to Angela Merkel (CDU), if he only a few metres in front of her security people will be overwhelmed if this man is a 23 year old Afghan, if he gets something also here that is similar to what sounds like “Allahu akbar” – then set other well-known reflexes too.
It happened on Wednesday morning at the exit of the Berlin Reichstag building. Merkel was re-elected just to go into their sedan, as the unknown ran off on her. After all, what happened in the past years in European cities, after all the bombings and knife attacks, often accompanied by “Allahu akbar”-call, had the scene scaring everyone, who stood or as video saw the scene on a screen.
More about the man is now known. World Police sources learned the droughts circulating information is first of all correct: it is Afghan, and he is 23 years old. However, he does not live in Berlin. Rather he comes from the Swabian Germany, located southeast of Stuttgart. And he has not occurred so far by the police.

He was sent to a psychiatrist.
