Terror Suspects Arrested This Morning

There's a short piece this morning out of north Germany, from Focus (the German news magazine), over terrorists being arrested.

What the cops say is that the three guys arrested, originally came to Germany three years ago, and were from Iraq.  They had been in some type of planning phase with an attack planned in Germany.

The German federal cops did an early morning raid there in the Dithmarschen area of Schleswig-Holstein.  The centerpiece of their plan?  Building an explosive device from fireworks that you would have used on New Year's Eve. 

So it's another case where cops got smart, tailed the suspects, and arrested them when the planning phase reached it's peak.  This is a trend that you continually see, with the German police quiet successful.
