Authorities claim to have foiled a plot to attack Christmas celebrations in Germany, arrest 5

The country’s authorities claim to have foiled a plot to attack Christmas celebrations in Germany. German police have arrested five people in this incident. Law enforcement agencies said that all of them are residents of Morocco, Syria and Egypt. The British media outlet BBC confirmed this news in a report on Sunday (December 14).
Local authorities claim that they planned to drive a car into a crowded place during Christmas celebrations. They have been charged with radical Islam. After the arrests, German authorities have tightened security around Christmas. The presence of security personnel has been increased at Christmas shopping malls and markets. Earlier, in December last year, six people were killed when a car was driven into a crowd at a Christmas market in the city of Magdeburg, Germany.
