Three terror suspects have been arrested in Germany. They are thought to have been plotting bomb attacks on Frankfurt Airport and the US military base at Ramstein.

DDP The US air base at Ramstein was one of the possible targets of the three suspects. Three Islamist terror suspects have been arrested in Germany, under suspicion of plotting bomb attacks on Frankfurt Airport and the US military air base at Ramstein.

The three men were arrested in Medebach-Oberschledorn in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia on Tuesday afternoon. Around 20 police were involved in the arrests, and there are reports that shots were fired. According to the Associated Press, the three men were staying in a vacation apartment. Local newspaper Hessische/Niedersächsische Allgemeine reported that police from Germany's elite GSG 9 unit had stormed the flat. Raids also later took place in other federal states, according to media reports.

According to information obtained by SPIEGEL ONLINE, the three men were Daniel S. from the state of Saarland and Fritz G. from Neu-Ulm in Bavaria, both of whom are German converts to Islam, as well as Adem Y., who is believed to be from Turkey. The three, who had apparently founded a terrorist cell, have been under intensive investigation for several months. All three men were considered radical Islamists and had contact to Islamist groups in Germany and Pakistan.

Thank you.

I searched the title (”Three” not “3”, “Germany” not “German”, etc.) but I should have looked for Ramstein as a keyword!

Those 3 Islamist terrorists much be members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, and they perpetrated this attack to derail Hillary’s run for the White House because their attack would make Americans favor a Republican candidate.

Two of them were Germans who had converted to Islam. And it is worth remembering that Germans do not need visas to enter the US.

They’re all the SAME in their mindless and unlimited capacity for fanaticism. Just when you think nothing and no one can be more idiotic and fanatical... they go and rewrite the book!!!

Sheik, dude! Long time, no chat. I see from In Forum that you’re around, but we haven’t crossed paths much.

Good to see you. Keep up the fight, and as always, deploy ridicule as a strategic weapon!
