Five men were arrested in Bavaria after authorities said they planned to use a vehicle to ram a Christmas market near Dingolfing-Landau with the intention of killing or injuring as many people as possible.Prosecutors said the detainees include a 56-year-old Egyptian imam, three Moroccan men aged 22, 28 and 30, and a 37-year-old Syrian, and they have been placed in pretrial detention while investigators probe an Islamist motive and noted the ongoing trial of Taleb Jawad al-Abdulmohsen.Joachim Herrmann praised the excellent cooperation between
security services that helped to prevent the plot, which authorities linked to heightened concern after the Magdeburg vehicle attack that killed six last year.
