Police nabs IS suspect in Germany
Leipzig, Oct 10 (IBNS): A Syrian man arrested by German police following a two-day manhunt, had a probable IS link, BBC reported.
Jaber al-Bakr was arrested from the country's eastern city of Leipzig early on Monday, the network added.
He entered the country as a refugee and was arrested from a fellow Syrian's flat, who alerted the police.
Though he evaded arrest in the initial raid, al-Bakr was captured later by law enforcers.
He was reportedly studying bomb making.
