Originally published on September 11, 2013 <br /><br />Police have foiled plans by neo-Nazis to equip model airplanes with makeshift bombs and target a gathering of their political opponents, prosecutors in the southern German city of Freiburg said on Tuesday.<br /><br />Reuters reports, "Police seized explosives, detonators and several model airplanes while searching the flats of four suspects and a neo-Nazi venue outside Freiburg last week, they said in a statement.<br /><br />"The suspected ringleader of the plot, an unnamed 23-year-old man, was arrested. Last month he was caught throwing a firecracker at a demonstration by anti-fascist groups against a far-right protest in the western city of Dortmund."<br /><br />The man allegedly recruited another 42-year-old man to build a functional bomb. The second man has also been detained and was later released on bail.<br /><br />The bomb could have caused damage within a 20-30 m radius, according to prosecutors' office spokesman Wolfgang Maier.<br /><br />According to Reuters, "Police said they also found chemicals, narcotics and a video camera at the sites.<br /><br />"While the number of far-right supporters in Germany is declining, the discovery in 2011 of a neo-Nazi cell blamed for the murder of nine immigrants has highlighted a violent underground fringe not previously acknowledged by authorities.<br /><br />"Germany's domestic intelligence agency estimates there are around 22,000 supporters of far-right or neo-Nazi ideology in Germany, a country of 82 million. Of these, around 9,600 are considered willing to use violence."<br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
