A 17-year-old from Syria was arrested in Brandenburg over suspicions that he was planning a terror attack in Berlin. Brandenburg state interior minister Karl-Heinz Schröter announced on Tuesday that the teenager had been arrested in Gerswalde over suspicions that he was plotting a suicide attack in the German capital. The eastern state that surrounds Berlin had received evidence of the alleged plan from other German states, Schröter said. Police in Bavaria meanwhile arrested a 37-year-old man on Tuesday, who is suspected of being a member of the terror group Junud al-Sham. Germany has been on high alert for potential terrorists, especially after a Tunisian Isis supporter killed 12 people in a truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market in December.
