Prosecutors say two teenagers have been arrested in Germany on suspicion that they were planning an Islamic extremist attack.
State prosecutors in Karlsruhe said the two Germans, ages 15 and 17, were arrested on Thursday. Prosecutors said the two were suspected of trying to procure firearms for a possible attack on an unidentified public facility in the Aschaffenburg area, southeast of Frankfurt.
Police seized Islamic extremist propaganda, flags of the Islamic State group and cellphones. They found no firearms.
Prosecutors said Friday there was no evidence the suspects would have been able to carry out their plan, but they were arrested on suspicion of conspiring to commit an attack. Police said they’ll now investigate how serious the plan was and added that there are indications the two are mentally ill.

The best way to stop this sort of thing is to deal harshly with those who are caught. Teens need to realize that affiliating with a terrorist group is a great way to ruin their future.
Believing they are mentally ill makes no difference.. I believe anyone that would want to kill and harm innocent people must be mentally ill, They have allowed evil spirits to over come their minds to do such horrible things……….. So bring out the firing squad, let them be the target…
Teens now a days dont know what they want but I blame the parents because they enable their sons and daughters by giving them everything they want and once it stops then they feel empty and fall for these terrorists who promise them everything if they join, at the end they end up dead or in prison
You would think that not teaching your child widely accepted values such as respect, manners and common sense would be considered child abuse. Yet to riot in the streets because you didn’t get your way is okay, they are just expressing themselves. I would charge the parents of these liberal geniuses for the cost of the damage that has been done, for the over time for law enforcement and for the disruption of Americans trying to live their lives.
