Euro 2024: Police ‘foiled ISIS attack’ before England vs Spain final

It has emerged that German Police foiled a suspected ISIS terror attack hours before the Euro 2024 final between England and Spain last Sunday.
The game saw thousands of fans from both countries travel to the fan zone in Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz.
ISIS had threatened to carry out an attack during the quarter-finals of this season’s Champions League.
And ahead of the Euros, both the organisers and German security forces took a heightened approach to policing during the tournament.
According to The Sun, the police raided different addresses in the nearby city of Potsdam.
This came after fears arose over a potential imminent attack on the England fan zone.
The five men police were searching for are said to be known ISIS supporters and were already under German police surveillance.
The men were placed under investigation and three suspects have since been released under investigation.
German police said in a statement: “The homes of three men were searched at three addresses in Potsdam.
“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.”
Spain won their first major trophy in 12 years, defeating England 2-1 in the final.
