Fox News
A 16-year-old boy and three other people were detained Thursday in connection with a suspected plan for an Islamic extremist attack on a synagogue in the German city of Hagen, authorities said.
Police cordoned off the synagogue on Wednesday and a worship service planned for the evening was called off.
Officials had received "very serious and concrete information" that there could be an attack on the synagogue during Yom Kippur, said Herbert Reul, the interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state, where Hagen is located. The tip pointed to "an Islamist-motivated threat situation," and named the possible timing and suspect, he added.
