Germany arrests three ISIS men who planned an attack on Duesseldorf


Authorities in Germany have arrested three Syrian men suspected of having links with ISIS and planning an attack in Duesseldorf. The plot was nipped by a fourth suspect, who spilled the beans to French authorities with details earlier this year. All the three men were arrested from three different German states.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 2 June 2016.
As per the plan, two suicide attackers would blow themselves up in central Duesseldorf and then, further assailants would kill as many people as possible using firearms and explosives. There were no indications to show that they had begun any concrete preparations.
The three men have been identified. Two of them had joined ISIS in Syria in 2014 and had received instructions from the group's leadership to carry out an attack in Duesseldorf. They had, accordingly, traveled to Turkey in May 2014 with IS approval and, then, separately in March and July 2015, to Germany via Greece. They had convinced the third man to join the plot at some point before January this year.
