BERLIN—A teenager accused of planning an Islamist-motivated attack in Germany was arrested Thursday, the federal prosecutor’s office said.

The dual German–Kosovar citizen detained in the western town of Iserlohn allegedly was under the influence of an ISIS terrorist group follower who posted propaganda on online messaging services, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
