German police have arrested a Syrian refugee who allegedly asked ISIS to fund an attack using explosives-packed vehicles.
The unemployed 38-year-old migrant urged an ISIS contact via mobile phone message service Telegram to send him 180,000 euros, prosecutors said.
Police commandos raided his apartment in Saarbruecken near the French border around 2:00 am on New Year’s Eve.
He was detained before being formally arrested on terror financing charges on New Year’s Day.
The man’s ‘as yet undefined attack scenario’ suggested turning cars into suicide bombs in Germany, France, Belgium and The Netherlands, police said.
On 19 December, 12 people were killed when Tunisian man Anis Amir drove a truck into crowds of people at a Christmas market in Berlin. ISIS claimed responsibility for that deadly rampage.
