Authorities in Bavaria arrested five men, including an Egyptian imam, three Moroccans and a Syrian, on suspicion of planning a vehicle ramming attack on a Christmas market near Dingolfing-Landau. Prosecutors are investigating a possible Islamist motive, referencing the ongoing trial of Taleb Jawad al-Abdulmohsen and drawing parallels to heightened concern after the Magdeburg vehicle attack that killed six people last year. Bavarian interior minister Joachim Herrmann said the arrests followed a warning from a foreign intelligence service, emphasized that the suspects are in pretrial detention, and stressed that security services now see no further acute dangers.
