October 08, 2016 21:03

German investigators found several hundred grams of explosives in an apartment they raided today in the eastern city of Chemnitz as they sought a Syrian man suspected of planning a bombing attack. The suspect remained on the run but three contacts were detained and being

questioned, police said.

Saxony police spokesman Tom Bernhardt told reporters the explosives were found by investigators combing carefully through the apartment, which was raided earlier in the day. "They were not just lying out on the kitchen table, they were relatively well hidden," he said.

He said the explosives were not considered stable enough to move and they would likely be destroyed in place once other residents in the area were evacuated.
