  "account": "German authorities have arrested two Iraqi nationals suspected of terrorism, after they were found to have fought with the Islamic State in Iraq a decade ago. The men, aged 29 and 46, were apprehended in Höxter and Bottrop, western state of North Rhine-Westphalia. They were accused of being members of a terrorist organization abroad, but there is no evidence they were involved in planned attacks in Germany. RWE, a German energy giant, has abandoned its offshore wind power projects in the US due to regulatory hurdles and has decided to reinvest the $1.22 billion settlement in US natural gas projects. German authorities confirmed they will take over investigations into a drone incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport, as there were grounds to suspect an attempt to attack air transport and cause an explosion. The drone was equipped with a federal prosecutor's explosives and a detonator, and there were indications of a mid-air collision between a plane and possibly another drone.",
  "summary": "An explosive-laden drone found at Leipzig airport was reportedly next to plane filled with weapons destined for Ukraine. Germany's interior minister has spoken of a \"new level of danger.\" DW has more.",
