Police have been investigating an apartment in the town of Oberursel
Police in Germany believe they have foiled an alleged terror plot near Frankfurt.
Officers raided a flat in the town of Oberursel and reportedly found a pipe bomb, an assault rifle and bomb-making chemicals. Police confirmed that a man and a woman had been detained overnight.
Local media said the couple have been under surveillance since one of them bought a large quantity of hydrogen peroxide using a fake name. "This hydrogen peroxide triggered an alert," Frankfurt's deputy chief prosecutor Stefan Rojczyk told the Associated Press news agency. "Police figured out who had bought it and it was decided to act fast," he said.
