Young Bosnian arrested in Germany over ‘terror' plot
German police early Wednesday arrested a young Bosnian man and conducted several searches in the west of the country to investigate the financing of an '[extremist] terrorist attack.' The 27-year-old suspect was arrested in an early morning operation by a specialized police unit in the Essen and Dortmund region, local police and the public prosecutor's office said in a statement. They did not give details about the planned attack, including where or how it was to be carried out, but said the investigation was ongoing. According to the German daily Bild, the suspect had received military training. Several searches have been carried out in the region at the homes of other people, who are currently considered witnesses. The police investigation began due to suspicions of organized fraud, and authorities later determined that the funds collected 'were to be used to finance an [extremist] terrorist attack', the statement said.

German authorities investigate doctor suspected of killing elderly patients
German police said Tuesday they were investigating a doctor suspected of killing several mainly elderly patients, without indicating the number of potential victims. Police and prosecutors in Itzehoe said in a statement they had opened an inquiry into the deaths of the patients. Investigators were 'reviewing previous deaths' linked to the doctor from the town of Pinneberg in northern Germany, just outside Hamburg, they said. 'Several autopsies and exhumations' had already been performed but it was expected to be 'several weeks' before the results of the forensic analysis were available. Authorities said they would not specify the number of potential cases involved in the meantime. But they said the patients were 'mostly elderly.' The allegations recall two other recent cases in Germany, where medical professionals have been charged with killing patients. In April, Berlin prosecutors charged a palliative care doctor with the murder of 15 patients aged between 25 and 94 years old. And in March, a nurse went on trial in Aachen accused of injecting 26 patients with large doses of sedatives or painkillers, resulting in the deaths of nine.
