German police arrested three Al Qaeda suspects, averting a terrorist bomb operation.
The three suspects arrested in Duesseldorf and Bochum on Friday are all young Moroccans, and according to reports from the newspaper Bild, police recovered large amounts of explosives.
“We succeeded in preventing a concrete and imminent danger,” Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said in a statement to Bild. “This proves that Germany continues to be in the crosshairs of international terrorists, and we need to remain vigilant.”
