German Teen Arrested for Alleged Christmas Market Attack Plot

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in northern Germany on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack targeting a Christmas market. Authorities believe he intended to ram a truck into the market, echoing a 2016 Berlin incident that resulted in multiple casualties. The boy, described as Turkish-German, was apprehended in Elmshorn following a tip from a U.S. intelligence agency. The motive is suspected to be radical Islamic in nature. The local prosecutor’s office plans to provide further updates on the investigation soon.
