German police officers decked out in heavy tactical gear executed a raid on an apartment building in Duisburg to arrest a man they allege was planning an Islamic terrorist attack on a Jewish event, according to multiple German publications and local police.
German newspaper Bild reported that authorities arrested 29-year-old Tarik S. (full last name not given) after a foreign intelligence service tipped off German officials about the plot, according to a translation of the report. The suspect was reportedly already known as being high-risk after fighting for ISIS in the past and writing in the past that he wanted to die as a martyr.
Intelligence sources told the newspaper that the suspect was planning to ram a truck into a pro-Israel rally in North Rhine-Westphalia to kill as many people as possible.
