US intelligence gave the clues |
Terror raid in the Ruhr area!
Herten (NRW) – In NBC protective suits, heavily armed SEK task forces enter an apartment building in Herten (Ruhr area). The special forces arrested one of the residents on Tuesday afternoon. The man of Arabic origin is suspected of being a terrorist!
According to BILD information, the American secret service pointed to him. The US authorities had intercepted videos showing the suspect – with guns in the background!
A large police force is on duty at the house
Ricin is also said to have been visible in the pictures. The highly toxic neurotoxin can be used to build extremely dangerous bombs. That is why the emergency services entered the house with such extensive protection.
The man’s home was searched for dangerous substances
It is still unclear whether ricin or other dangerous substances or the suspected weapons were found in the apartment. Likewise, whether the arrested person actually planned an attack or what he was planning.
In any case, the man is not yet known to be a threat, only “because of general crime”.
A police officer at the scene
The police said in the afternoon about the operation that they had “previously received indications that dangerous substances may be stored in an apartment in an apartment building with six parties or that such substances are handled there”. Specialists from the fire brigade and police experts are on duty there.
In the evening, a first cautious all-clear: So far, the fire brigade have not found any dangerous substances. However, further investigations are still ongoing.
