Tensions increase in Munich: Police arrest person planning to attack soldiers.

An alleged Islamic extremist was arrested in Germany for planning to attack soldiers in Munich. He aimed to kill many soldiers and make people feel unsafe.

The suspect, a 27-year-old Syrian man, is believed to support radical Islamic ideas. He had bought two large machetes to use in his planned attack.

He was taken to court the day after he was arrested. Authorities have not revealed his name because of privacy laws in Germany.

His arrest followed another recent attack in Solingen, Germany, where three were killed and eight injured. That attacker, also Syrian, was linked to the Islamic State, which claimed the attack.

These attacks have caused Germany to focus heavily on immigration issues. Germany responded by increasing border controls at all its borders, impacting European cooperation.
