Moroccan plotted terrorist attack outside Russia’s embassy in Berlin detained

A Moroccan citizen, who was detained in Germany’s Leipzig on Saturday, planned to carry out a terrorist attack outside Russia’s embassy in Berlin, the Focus magazine wrote citing prosecutors in Dresden.

The 24-year-old native of the North African country is suspected of "preparing to commit a crime threatening security of a state," TASS cited the report as saying. The prosecutors believe that "Russia’s embassy in Berlin was a potential target."

The Tagesspiegel newspaper earlier wrote citing its own sources that the detained migrant wanted to carry out a terrorist attack outside Russia’s diplomatic mission.
