A 12-year-old German-Iraqi boy tried to blow up a Christmas market in the town of Ludwigshafen, prosecutors say.
He left a rucksack with explosives which failed to detonate in November, and put another explosive device by the town hall a few days later, they say. But a member of the public alerted the police, and no-one was injured.
The 12 year old - who is now in custody - is thought have been recently radicalised and to have links with the so-called Islamic State group. Focus magazine cited security and judicial sources as saying the boy was "strongly radicalised" and apparently instructed by an unknown IS member.
The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office declined to comment on a possible IS link, but confirmed officials were investigating the case.
Public Prosecutor Hubert Stroeber said the boy left a backpack containing a home-made nail bomb at the Christmas market in Ludwigshafen, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, on 26 November, but the device did not go off because the detonator apparently failed.
The second device near the city's town hall, placed on 5 December, was discovered by an "informant" and specialists defused it, Mr Stroeber said.

Merkel's children at work...
come on. Who didn’t do that at 12?
By state law, he can’t be charged. Maybe counseling and “grounding” at home but that’s about it. The thing is that the family will have neighbors watching and reporting on the kid now.
If I were the judge, I’d order all computers in the house removed for a year, and ensure he had no cellphone.
Drown the little bugger in the Rhein and deport his family.
Either he’s a tool, with explosives supplied by someone, or he’s a friggin’ if misguided genius to get all that together at the age of 12. My vote’s for the first choice. The German government is even stupider than ours.
Why does anyone think that, if you import these savages en mass to the West, that you also won’t be importing the Middle East chaos that we’ve seen for the past 5 or 10 years to the West?
No muslim needs to be “radicalized”.
Islam demands that they subjugate, convert or kill infidels.
It is the religion itself that is the problem.
Obama invited clock boy to the WH. Will Merkel do the same?
Yeah, just remember - harmless orphans and widows.
Trump won’t let them in.
