German police arrested an Iranian on suspicion of preparing an "Islamic attack". An Iranian man has been arrested in western Germany suspected of preparing an "Islamist attack" using cyanide and ricin, police and prosecutors said on Sunday. Ricin is a highly toxic substance, which is classed as a "chemical weapon" in Germany. Similar to cyanide, ricin can be lethal. In 2018, a Tunisian man and his wife were arrested on suspicion of planning a biological bomb attack in Germany.
