German police hunting for a Syrian-born man suspected of planning a bomb attack found explosives in a flat they raided while searching for him on Saturday, officials said. “The search for the suspect is ongoing,” Saxony state police tweeted. Be careful.”Police detained three people in Chemnitz who they said were known to Albakr, but he remained at large. Tom Bernhardt, spokesman for the Saxony state criminal investigation office, said officers did not immediately find the several hundred grammes of explosives when searching the apartment because they were well hidden. The police deployment followed a tipoff from the domestic intelligence service, though the “where, when, how and why” of the planned attack remained unclear, Bernhardt said.
