Police in the eastern German city of Chemnitz have launched a manhunt for a suspect believed to be planning a bomb attack.<\/p>\n
Acting on a tip-off from the domestic intelligence service, they raided an apartment but failed to find the man.<\/p>\n
Traces of explosives were found at the property, a police spokesman said. Local residents have been warned to stay indoors as officers comb the area.<\/p>\n
The suspect has been named as Jaber Alkadr, 22, who was born in Syria.<\/p>\n
The “where, when, how and why” of the planned attack remained unknown according to Tom Bernhardt, a spokesman for the Saxony state criminal investigation office.<\/p>\n
Saxony police have released pictures of the Damascus-born suspect wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt with a colourful print.<\/p>\n
They have not provided any information about how long he had been in Germany.<\/p>\n
They have urged anyone with information about him to come forward.<\/p>\n
