A Nigerian citizen has been arrested in the German city of Goettingen for plotting a terrorist attack, officials have disclosed.
Also arrested along with the Nigerian citizen is an Algerian citizen aged 27 and 23 respectively and taken into custody after a 450-strong police operation that took place during the night.
The Goettingen police and the Interior Ministry of the state of Lower Saxony did not confirm whether any evidence was confiscated as part of the raids.
The men have been classified by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency as “a danger to others,’’ people who are prepared to commit acts of terrorism at any time.
Police chief Uwe Luehrig said that evidence gathered in the past few days about the men’s terrorist plot had forced the authorities into action.
