FRANKFURT — German police detained three people in the western city of Offenbach on Tuesday on suspicion of planning a bomb attack for the Islamic State militant group, prosecutors said. The three suspects wanted to kill as many “infidels” as possible in the planned attack in the Rhine-Main region, Frankfurt prosecutor Nadja Niesen said. No specific attack targets were yet known but evidence seized from raids of three homes in Offenbach should shed some light, she added. The suspects are believed to have told people they were IS supporters, Niesen said, adding she thought all three were known to police. Substances that could be used to make explosives and equipment were found at the main suspect’s home, she said.
