An 18-year-old from Brandenburg is said to have planned a politically motivated attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin. Forces of the Federal Police and the State Criminal Police Office Brandenburg set the man on Thursday at the capital airport BER. Against the 18-year-olds, an arrest warrant was issued on Friday. It is a Russian. The man should come from Potsdam and, according to the previous state of the police, not previously noticed the police for crimes. The reason for the arrest should have been a hint to which the investigators did not provide any further details. According to DPA information, the security authorities are currently assuming an Islamist background of the planned act. The investigation is about suspicion of preparing a serious acting act of violence. According to DPA information, the security authorities are based on a group in the context of the alleged attack planning from a group to which two other suspects should belong. However, these men left some time ago before the Brandenburg security authorities led the investigation into the 18-year-old.

To what extent is investigated against other suspects or wissers, has so far been unclear, since the investigators give few details about the case. They refer to investigative reasons, and there are no further details about the motives of the 18-year-old. As the man has been in the focus of the investigators for a long time, it is still unclear. As specifically, the attack plans were also open.
