Kemnitz

22-year old Syrian Jaber Albakir who was arrested on terrorism charges was preparing an attack on one of the airports in Berlin.

He had been followed by intelligence services since September, after US and French services alerted their German colleagues about a planned attack against infrastructure sites in Germany.

Heavily armed special forces evacuated a block of flats in the German city of Kemnitz on Saturday.

People in the remaining buildings of the neighbourhood were asked to remain in their homes. The police announced that there was a signal for a planned bomb attack.
