German agent arrested as 'suspect Islamist'BERLIN--A German working in intelligence has been exposed as "a suspect Islamist," Germany's domestic security agency said on Tuesday, following reports he was planning an attack on the agency's headquarters. The 51-year-old German, who was arrested for sharing "sensitive information" online, is believed to have been planning a bombing at the BfV headquarters in the western city of Cologne, according to the German press. Contacted by AFP, a BfV spokeswoman said the unnamed 51-year-old had "made Islamist remarks online under a false name, and had offered internal information during online chats." The publications said the suspect had partially admitted to the allegations by making references to bomb attacks carried out "in the name of Allah." He used several different names online and allegedly divulged information about the agency in chat rooms, the reports said.
