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 followingnoon. 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!
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.
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”.
The police said in the followingnoon regarding 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, the police announced that no dangerous substances had been found in the apartment. The investigations are ongoing.
