<\/span><\/p>\n German police detained three people in the western city of Offenbach Tuesday on suspicion of planning a bomb attack on behalf of the ISIS militant group, prosecutors said.\u00a0<\/p>\n The three suspects wanted to kill as many people as possible in the planned attack in the Rhine-Main region, Frankfurt prosecutor Nadja Niesen said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n No specific attack targets were yet known but evidence seized from raids of three homes in Offenbach should shed some light, she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n The main suspect is a 24-year-old German of Macedonian origin who wanted to manufacture explosives and had tried to buy a weapon online. His two accomplices are Turkish nationals aged 22 and 21.\u00a0<\/p>\n The three suspects are believed to have told people in the past that they identified themselves as ISIS supporters, Niesen said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Substances that could be used to make explosives and equipment were found at the main suspect’s home, she said. The authorities also secured written documents and electronic data.\u00a0<\/p>\n Niesen said a decision would be made on Wednesday on whether all three suspects or only one would be brought before the investigating judge at a court in Frankfurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n The judge will decide whether to issue an arrest warrant and order pre-trial detention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" German police detained three people in the western city of Offenbach Tuesday on suspicion of planning a bomb attack on behalf of the ISIS militant group, prosecutors said.\u00a0 German police detained three people in the western city of Offenbach Tuesday on suspicion of planning a bomb attack on behalf of the ISIS militant group, prosecutors …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":20029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_108372464460192_245495985553329":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[363,94,85],"class_list":["post-8249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-attack","tag-germany","tag-isis"],"yoast_head":"\n
