CHEMNITZ (GERMANY) - German police were on Sunday hunting a Syrian man suspected of plotting a jihadist bomb attack, placing his flatmate under arrest and raiding a contact's home, after finding explosives in the fugitive's apartment. "We do not know where he is and what he's carrying with him," police said on Twitter, advising citizens to "be careful". Police on Sunday questioned Albakr's Syrian flatmate, who was formally remanded in custody as a suspected co-conspirator of a "serious act of violence", after he was detained the previous day. Heightening public fears, German police say they have foiled a number of attacks this year. In late September, police arrested a 16-year-old Syrian refugee in Cologne on suspicion he was planning a bombing in the name of IS.
