A terror attack was allegedly planned on England’s fan zone in Berlin during the Euro 2024 final against Spain.

Police raided a series of addresses hours before kick off on July 14, fearing an imminent attack.

The assault was planned on fans gathering to watch the match in Breitscheidplatz in Germany’s capital, it was claimed.

Three suspects were detained after coordinated raids in nearby Potsdam, the Sun reported. 

‘Forces from the special task forces were involved in the operation.

‘The measures were carried out in connection with an immediate threat from the Islamist spectrum.’

The suspects were released under investigation and the exact nature of the alleged plot was not reported.

It comes amid heightened fears of terror attacks on major events.
