A South Korean man with alleged links to Daesh militants was on Thursday arrested on suspicion of plotting acts of terrorism. The 23-year-old soldier who has only been identified by his surname Park had been discharged from the South Korean military.
He was arrested by a police and military task force for having stolen a sparking-plug for explosives in October 2017 while participating in special training on demolition techniques.
Moreover, videos and other literature on ISIS were recovered from his residence as well as video clips of Daesh operations and other related materials to post online. Authorities also seized emails Park had received from Daesh on how to join the terror group.
