Germany: Teens allegedly planned Christmas market attack

German Teens

Two German teenagers are accused of plotting a terror attack on a Christmas market in the western German city of Leverkusen, German prosecutors said on Thursday.

The suspects, a 15-year-old boy in North Rhine-Westphalia and a 16-year-old boy in the eastern state of Brandenburg, were arrested earlier on Wednesday.

Prosecutors alleged that two teenagers planned to leave Germany after the attack to join an offshoot of the so-called “Islamic State” group in Afghanistan.
