German authorities arrest Syrian national over alleged plot to harm military personnel with machetes
ai generated text
German authorities have arrested a 27-year-old Syrian man suspected of planning to attack soldiers with machetes near a military technology facility in northern Bavaria. The arrest comes after a similar incident in Solingen, where a Syrian refugee allegedly killed three people and injured eight others. The suspect is believed to be an alleged follower of a radical Islamic ideology and is charged with planning a serious act of violence against the state. The plot was reportedly foiled after police received a tip-off, and the suspect had already purchased the machetes.
I am therefore wholeheartedly grateful to the police and security forces for their decisive action in preventing a terrible crime.
There has never been anything like this in Hof before - living together with more than 48,000 people from 127 countries has always been peaceful, and we will do everything we can to ensure that this remains the case in the future.
