Atilla Selek, a 22-year-old German with Turkish parents sought in connection with a reported plot to bomb German and American facilities in Germany, has been arrested in Turkey. Turkish officials said he was detained Tuesday in Konya, his family’s hometown. Three other men, two Germans and a Turkish resident of Germany, are already in custody. German authorities said the plot was in an advanced stage when they uncovered it in September and seized large quantities of potentially explosive chemicals. German officials said Mr. Selek may have helped obtain detonators. In an interview in September, he denied having any links to the plot or to terrorism.
