Germany: Syrian man arrested for plotting terror attacks

German authorities arrest a Syrian man who allegedly asked the ISIS to fund an attack using explosives-packed vehicles.

German authorities said Monday that police had arrested a Syrian man who had allegedly asked the Islamic State (ISIS) jihadist group to fund an attack using explosives-packed vehicles, AFP reported.

The unemployed 38-year-old with refugee status had urged an ISIS contact via mobile phone message service Telegram to send him 180,000 euros ($188,000), prosecutors said.

Police commandos raided the suspect’s apartment in Saarbruecken near the French border around 2:00 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Saturday, New Year's Eve. He was detained before being formally arrested on terror financing charges Sunday, according to AFP.
