Germany arrests Tunisian asylum-seeker linked to Tunis museum attack
A 36-year-old Tunisian asylum-seeker arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of planning an Islamist attack in Germany is also wanted in his homeland over a deadly 2015 assault on a Tunis museum favoured by Western tourists, German officials said.
The Tunisian is suspected of recruiting for ISIS in Germany since August 2015 and building up a network of supporters with the aim of carrying out a terrorist attack, the Frankfurt prosecutor's office said in a statement.
He had lived in Germany for a decade until 2013, before re-entering the country to seek asylum in August 2015, it said, five months after Islamist militants stormed the Bardo Museum and killed 21 foreign tourists.
