GERMAN police have seized 155kg of explosives and detained two men suspected of having links to a right-wing terror group, according to The Sun.
A home-made bomb marked with a swastika and SS symbols was also seized, German news agency DPA has reported.
The explosives were reportedly found in a flat in Lauterecken, west Germany on December 29.
The two suspects, aged 18 and 24, reportedly belong to a neo-Nazi group.
They deny wrongdoing and have reportedly claimed the explosives were intended for New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Last week authorities seized 110kg of explosives from a residential house in the same area, Bild reported.
Germany is on high alert after a spate of terror atrocities, including the Berlin Christmas Market attack that killed 12 and injured 48.
