BERLIN (Reuters) - German security forces have taken into custody a suspect linked to last month's failed plot to explode bombs on German trains, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
In a preview of an article to appear in Bild am Sonntag on Sunday, the paper cited security sources as saying one of two suspects in the case had been seized in the northern city of Kiel and was being questioned by police.
Earlier on Saturday, the train station in Kiel was shut down for five hours. Police said the move was linked to the investigation into two bombs that were discovered in abandoned suitcases on trains in Dortmund and Koblenz last month.
Police declined to comment on whether a suspect had been seized and said a statement on the matter was expected later on Saturday from the federal prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe.
Police in Kiel said they would hold a news conference at 5 p.m. (4 p.m. British Time).

"German bombs 'mass murder' bid"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police are still trying to work out why the devices did not explode
German police have ruled out blackmail as the reason why two bombs were left on trains on 31 July - and now believe it was a failed terror attack.
The bombs were in identical black cases on trains in Dortmund and Koblenz.
They had been timed to explode 10 minutes before the trains arrived, said federal crime chief Joerg Ziercke.
"We are now working on the basis that this was the work of a terrorist group... and was an attempt to kill a large number of people," he said.
Police want to trace two men seen on CCTV wheeling cases at Cologne station."
Ping
Another video capture of one of the suspects.
Thank you csvset.
There must be a coffee shop where they know this guy? Surely, there is one Muslim who knows the call of duty to civilization to drop a dime.
..The Federal Criminal Investigation Office (Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations) searches at present for two suspecting, the at the end of of July of two bomb attacks on regional courses to intensively commit wanted.
After realizations Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations the passengers in the two courses escaped only hair sharp a blood bath. The fuzes on 31 July of the luggage bombs found in courses to Hamm and Moenchengladbach had released o'clock already at the same time at 14.30.
Only an error relating to crafts prevented according to Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations data that the main charges exploded.
There are traces, which point on a connection of the authors to Lebanon.
If I read that correctly, the only reason the two bombs failed to explode was due to either poor design or failed components.
** Note the reference to ties to Lebanon. Hezbollah or any other garden variety Islamic terror group?
* Who knows if these scumbags are even German citizens. Nowadays there are so many groups that have an axe to grind, be it political, religous, ethnic, enviromental, etc. , it's hard to say what the motive is. With that being said, I'll stick with the statistics that these guys are Muslim terrorists between the ages of 18 - 30.
Hey you're cheating. It's not guesswork with pictures.
You got that right. These two terrorists are n o t linked to Al Quaida, since they are called "semi-professional". If AQ had done it, it would have exploded.
So, we guess they could be Hezbollah supporters.
THANKS for that article.
Well, I thank God those bombs did NOT explode.

More crucially tap from the foreign country
With the video material the authorities searched for the men. On the early Saturday morning officials of the Federal Criminal Investigation Office could finally seize a first suspecting on the main station in Kiel. Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigations boss Ziercke attributed success to the recent reporting in the media over the search after the Bombenlegern.
The crucial reference to the identification is to have come from a foreign secret service.
Hmmm... a Lebanese terror suspect, and the German's receive a tip as to his ID from a foreign Intel service..
1) Good cooperation!
2) Any guesses as to which Intel service?
"Any guesses as to which Intel service?"
I don't have a clue which intel service(s) it was; but I do so
love it when intel services share their intel AND take action.
thanks
