Exactly a week ago, a 16-year-old teenager was arrested in the city of Essen, in western Germany, for allegedly planning an attack with explosives against the educational center he attended or against his former school.
In the house of the detainee, the police found materials to make a device capable of detonating, although the explosive charge was missing, as well as a crossbow and arrows.
According to regional government sources quoted in German media, the teenager had texts with xenophobic and anti-Semitic components in his home and there are indications that he could be a neo-Nazi.
