Jacques Offenbach

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.

German prosecutors charged an 18-year-old man on Tuesday over the death of a young German-Turkish woman who has become a symbol of civic courage for giving her life trying to protect two teenage girls.
