Summary
German police arrested a teenager in Elmshorn suspected of planning an Islamist-inspired truck attack similar to the 2016 Berlin Christmas market attack.
Prosecutors in Flensburg confirmed the youth had “sufficiently concrete plans” and showed signs of radicalization.
The arrest followed a tip from a foreign intelligence service. Authorities are investigating further but have not disclosed specific details about how they uncovered the plot or the suspect’s background.
The teenager remains in custody.

Kid was most likely setup. It's how they make like 90% of these arrests.

Keep living in a fantasy world where literally anyone could be entrapped as a terrorist. You disgust me. Political Islam isn’t a race or a religion. So glad to see your ability to pull the wool over the eyes of western secularists is finally coming to an end.
