Brandenburg Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke confirmed the arrest and told journalists that a “police operation was carried out on suspicion of a man possessing explosives and preparing a terrorist attack,” as reported by Tagesspiegel daily. The person detained is suspected of having links to Islamists.
