Soldier posing as refugee held
A GERMAN soldier found posing as a Syrian refugee has been arrested for allegedly planning a shooting attack that would be blamed on asylum seekers. The unidentified soldier was detained when he went to retrieve a loaded pistol he had hidden in a bathroom at Vienna International Airport. The public prosecutor’s office in Frankfurt says the 28-year-old is suspected of planning a serious “state-threatening act of violence”, fraud and violating firearms laws. Investigations have revealed he was stationed in France before registering as a refugee back in Germany.
