BERLIN — Four teenagers suspected of planning an Islamic extremist attack have been arrested in Germany, authorities said on Friday.

Three of the suspects — two girls who are 15 and 16, and a 15-year-old boy — come from various parts of the western North Rhine-Westphalia state, Germany’s most populous. They were arrested after a court issued warrants for them over the Easter weekend, prosecutors in the city of Duesseldorf said.
