Saxon investigators have probably prevented an attack on a hostel for asylum seekers in Brandenburg. Following an anonymous tip-off, two properties in the Meißen district were searched, according to the Dresden public prosecutor's office. During the searches, explosives in the form of two ball bombs were found, as well as brass knuckles, one-handed knives, ammunition and alarm guns and soft air weapons.
