A 23-year-old from the city of Unna in Germany has been arrested under suspicion of planning a terrorist attack, while a 19-year-old with German and Kosovo citizenship has been involved in the investigation.

According to the German newspaper ʹ BILD, 23, who was in professional preparation for work at the Deutsche Bahn railway company, allegedly along with 19-year-old Hagen had discussed during September the possibility of carrying out an attack and securing firearms.

They allegedly had planned to obtain two AK-47-type automatic rifles, at 1,000 euros apiece.

On October 1, German special forces have raided several residences in Una and Hagen, but no weapons have been found during the raids.

According to the report, security authorities had monitored the suspects and tapped their conversations. The concrete target of the attack has not yet been disclosed, while during the discussions allegedly knives, cars and firearms were mentioned as possible instruments of attack.

The Düsseldorf General Prosecutor has confirmed the charge against the 23-year-old, who is in custody due to the risk of escape.

Meanwhile, 19-year-old Adnan R. From Hagen, who owns German and Kosovo citizenship, is also under investigation, but has not been sent to custody, as authorities have not filed legal reasons for such a move.

Two Syrian citizens, aged 20 and 24, have also been involved in the investigation, but no charges have been filed against them since no evidence for their involvement so far.
