A 17-year-old German-Turkish boy was arrested last week in Schleswig-Holstein for allegedly planning a truck attack on a Christmas market. Authorities uncovered the plot through intercepted communications within Islamist networks, with intelligence assistance from U.S. agencies. The investigation, led by the Flensburg public prosecutor’s office, emphasizes the seriousness of the threat to public safety. Prosecutor Bernd Winterfeld confirmed that a warrant was issued, highlighting the extreme nature of the planned act. The case underscores ongoing concerns related to terrorist activities in Germany.
