Summary

German police arrested a teenager in Elmshorn suspected of planning an Islamist-inspired truck attack similar to the 2016 Berlin Christmas market attack.

Prosecutors in Flensburg confirmed the youth had “sufficiently concrete plans” and showed signs of radicalization.

The arrest followed a tip from a foreign intelligence service. Authorities are investigating further but have not disclosed specific details about how they uncovered the plot or the suspect’s background.

The teenager remains in custody.
