A 15-year-old boy has been taken into custody in Brandenburg under suspicion of planning a politically motivated attack on a church in Berlin. Authorities became concerned on Christmas Eve after receiving credible tips about the potential threat, possibly linked to contacts with the Islamic State. Although a police raid found no weapons or explosives, a court in Potsdam confirmed the detention. The investigation remains ongoing, and it is unclear if the juvenile acted alone or was prepared to carry out the attack.
