Then something in his mind changed - Eric Breininger (21) converted to Islam and took off for Afghanistan to receive training as a suicide bomber

Now German security officials are sounding the alarm: Breininger may be back in Germany and could be set to carry out a terrorist attack. The BKA (Germany’s federal police force) is on the hunt for the young man and has a warrant for his arrest.

“We have up-to-date information that Breininger, his friend Houssain al-Malla and most likely a third person, are on their way to Germany,” a BKA spokesman said.

Security agencies have told BILD that Breininger and his terrorist friends reportedly attempted to commit a suicide bomb attack in Turkey.

Most recently, they were seen in the Bosnian city of Zenica and on September 20, the BKA sent out a notice, warning all German government agencies and authorities.
