German police officers in Offenbach detained three people on suspicion of a bomb attack on behalf of the Islamic State, BNT reported.

The conspirators wanted to kill as many "infidels" as possible, the Frankfurt prosecutor's office said. The main suspect is a 24-year-old German of Macedonian descent. His accomplices are Turks 22 and 21 years old.

The Athens Symphony Orchestra and Choir will perform a stripped-down version of Jacques Offenbach's three-act opera buffa "La belle Helene" at the open-air theater of Kolonos on Saturday and Sunday, September 9-10, and on Tuesday, September 12. The performance is directed by Isidoros Sideris and conducted by Michalis Economou. Admission is free of charge.

The performance will be held as part of the 65th Ljubljana Festival and will feature Beethoven's Violin Concerto performed by Zukerman, widely regarded as one of the greatest violinists of the second half of the 20th century.
