police have detained an Iranian national on suspicion of planning a terror attack, authorities in the country said Sunday.
Police in the western city of Munster said the 32-year-old man is believed to have procured unspecified amounts of the toxins cyanide and ricin in preparation for an “Islamist-motivated attack.” The suspect was detained following an investigation by the North Rhine-Westphalia Central Office for the Prosecution of Terrorism, a unit of the Düsseldorf Public Prosecutor’s Office, according to police.
Holger Heming of the Duesseldorf public prosecutor’s office told Reuters that “a serious tip-off” from a security agency of a “friendly state” prompted police to intervene during the night. Police seized electronic storage devices but found neither cyanide nor ricin during a search of the suspect’s home in the city of Castrop-Rauxel, Heming told the news agency.
