"German Authorities Foil New Year's Eve Terror Plot at Cologne Cathedral, Detain Five Suspects"

German authorities have detained a fifth suspect, a 41-year-old German-Turkish man, in connection with a planned attack on Cologne Cathedral. The plot allegedly involved Islamic extremists intending to use a car loaded with explosives on New Year's Eve. The cathedral has been under heavy protection, with searches and security measures intensified since the threat was received before Christmas. The other four suspects, including a 30-year-old Tajik man, are part of a larger network across Germany and Europe. No explosives were found, and the cathedral had been closed to tourists since Christmas Eve.
