Young people in Elmshorn: Truck attack planned? Investigations are running!
in Elmshorn, Schleswig-Holstein, the excitement is bubbling after the arrest of a 17-year-old who is suspected of having planned an attack. The young person has been in custody since November 7, and the investigation by the Flensburg public prosecutor's office is in full swing. Chief Prosecutor Bernd Winterfeldt confirmed on Monday that an arrest warrant was issued against the young man, but he held back with further details and only spoke of a "attack scenario" that was not yet precisely outlined.
shocking plans
According to the German Press Agency, the 17-year-old planned to use a truck for his attack. The public prosecutor is investigating the preparations of a serious act of violence. Details on the nationality of the suspect and how the investigators became aware of him have so far been unconfirmed. However, it is known that the youth had already noticed the police this year.The idea that a attack was planned with a truck arouses bad memories of the terrible attack on the Breitscheidplatz in Berlin on December 19, 2016, in which an Islamist terrorist kidnapped a truck and raced to a Christmas market. 13 people died in this cruel incident and more than 70 were injured. The similarities to this fateful event throw a dark shadow on the current investigation.
