German federal prosecutors say they've filed charges against a 29-year-old Islamic State suspect accused of planning a vehicular attack in the southwestern city of Karlsruhe.
Dasbar W., a German citizen whose last name wasn't released in line with privacy laws, faces charges of membership in a terrorist organisation and planning an act of violence.
Prosecutors said today that the man was accused of distributing IS propaganda online starting in 2015 and joining and training with the group in Iraq in 2016.
They alleged, upon his return to Germany in July 2017, he embarked on planning his attack, scouting locations and trying to find a job as a delivery driver.
They said he was planning an attack on crowds around an outdoor skating rink when arrested shortly before Christmas last year.
