German Police Arrest Bomb Plot Suspect

German police have captured a suspect believed to be planning a bomb attack. "Tired but overjoyed: we captured the terror suspect last night in Leipzig," the police said in a tweet on Monday. 

    The police had been looking for the suspect, Syrian refugee Jaber Al Bakr, after raiding a flat in the nearby city of Chemnitz on Saturday. Several hundred grams of "highly volatile" explosives were found at the property, investigators said. About 100 people were evacuated from the block of flats as the explosives were moved for a controlled detonation. 

    Two people in contact with Al Bakr were then detained at Chemnitz railway station and another person was held near the flat in the Fritz-Heckert neighborhood.
