From the Telegraph
A suspected Islamic State sleeper agent has been arrested in Germany just a day after security officials warned of potential terror threats at Euro 2024.
Iraqi detainee “Mahmoud A” was taken into custody on Wednesday in the town of Esslingen on the outskirts of Stuttgart to be questioned on suspicion of preparing an attack on behalf of the group. Investigators say he arrived in Germany in October 2022, despite having been affiliated with the terror group since 2016.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said of the the arrest: “Our security authorities are extremely vigilant, follow every tip-off and strike hard to protect our country.”
