BERLIN, 12 February, 2021 (TON): On Thursday, three Syrian men accused of planning an attack with several kilograms of explosive chemicals got arrested by German and Danish Police, prosecutors said.

The ages of the men were 33, 36, and 40 respectively who are charged with planning a serious act of violence endangering the state, according to prosecutors in the town of Naumburg in Germany's Saxony-Anhalt state.

"In January of this year, they are alleged to have been involved in the purchase of several kilograms of chemicals that can be used to manufacture explosive devices," they said.

Two arrested in Denmark, where the chemicals were seized as well, while the third arrested in the German state of Hesse.

Police also seized 10 kilograms of gunpowder and fuses at an address in the town of Dessau in Saxony-Anhalt, the prosecutors said.

It is suspected that the three men are brothers, according to a media report.

The violent attacks committed in Germany are expected to be linked to the people having ties with the extremist group; however, since 2013 the number of dangerous militants has increased in number according to the security forces.
