A man arrested in connection with the terror warning for Cologne Cathedral will not be released because of a European arrest warrant from Austria. The Cologne district court issued a so-called detention order based on the arrest warrant, a police spokesman told the German Press Agency. There is an extradition procedure.
The 30-year-old Tajik was arrested in Wesel on Christmas Eve. The police had announced that they would keep him in long-term custody until today.
