POLICE DETAIN MAN SUSPECTED OF ORDERING STARLINK ATTACK

BERLIN, NOVEMBER 3 /SRNA/ - A Turkish national has been arrested in the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg on suspicion of masterminding an attack on a Starlink satellite network station in Poland, German police said.

Police said the suspect is in pre-trial detention and is suspected of preparing a terrorist act.

Two other Turkish nationals were arrested in mid-October and are in the process of being extradited to Poland.

According to the investigation so far, the arrested man instructed the two suspects to carry out the attack in Poland.

The public prosecutor's office said a separate investigation has been opened against him.

The alleged saboteurs travelled to Poland on September 23 and set fire to a Starlink terminal there, Germany's DPA news agency said. Eight mobile phones and ammunition were among the items found on them.
