HUNT FOR SYRIAN REFUGEE AFTER EXPLOSIVES FOUND

CHEMNITZ: German police carried out a huge manhunt late Saturday for a 22-yearold Syrian refugee suspected of planning a bomb attack, after finding “highly explosive” materials in his apartment. Security has been boosted at Berlin’s two airports and at train stations. The suspect, Jaber Albakr, could have had “an Islamist motive”, police sources said. Reports said that Albakr had links to the Islamic State. Focus said he was suspected of plotting to attack an airport. – AFP
