A 32-year-old man has been taken into police custody in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia for allegedly preparing an “Islamist-motivated attack,” police and prosecutors said in a joint statement on Sunday.
The man, identified as an Iranian, was “suspected of having prepared a serious act of violence that endangers the state by procuring cyanide and ricin to commit an Islamist-motivated attack.”

The Federal Criminal Police Office has been investigating the Iranian terror suspect for days. A “friendly secret service” is said to have warned the German security authorities about the danger of a chemical bomb attack. It is not yet clear how far the plans have progressed. Likewise, whether there was already an attack target.
