European authorities busted a suspected Islamist terror cell in central Europe, arresting an Iraqi ISIS sympathizer who allegedly carried out two unsuccessful attacks on trains in Germany last year.

The 42-year-old man was detained Monday in the Austrian capital of Vienna, where he normally lives. The authorities said he’s accused of “carrying out terrorist attacks on railway lines in Germany in October and December 2018.”

Czech authorities, meanwhile, arrested two individuals who allegedly formed a terror cell with the suspect of the train attacks.
