German police foil terror attack

This weekend, Berlin police arrested a Syrian citizen who they believe was planning a terror attack. The 22-year-old suspect shared Islamic propaganda on social media and a police search of properties associated with him found “equipment suitable for making a bomb.” Germany’s interior minister said this arrest showed “the terrorist threat in Germany, though often abstract, remains heightened.” In October, German police arrested three Hamas supporters with similar plans. This recent arrest further exacerbates tensions surrounding the German migrant crisis, which in turn strains the nation’s political situation. German political upheaval is a trend the Trumpet watches because, based on Bible prophecy, it will lead to a strong German leader.
