"Investigators in Berlin have been delving for more clues after the arrest of a 22-year-old Syrian man accused of planning a jihadist-inspired bomb attack. Prosecutors said electronic storage devices and other materials seized during searches at three locations in the city are now being analyzed. "The next step is the evaluation of the electronic data and remaining evidence," said prosecutor's office spokesman Michael Petzold."
"The man had come to investigators' attention for sharing Islamic State propaganda on social media, including jihadist songs and hymns. Prosecutors have also charged him with spreading materials of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations. Speculation that a Berlin Christmas market may have been a target has not been confirmed. Petzold said the investigation is exploring all possibilities. The case has reignited political debate over deportations to Syria."

The suspect has been in pretrial detention since his arrest, charged with preparing a serious act of violence threatening the state and with spreading materials of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations. Officials say he obtained parts for a homemade explosive or incendiary device, though a potential target remains unconfirmed.
