Neo-Nazis planned model plane bomb say police in Freiburg, Germany
Ne-Nazis committed over 800 violent crimes in Germany last year, according to official figures.

POLICE in southweste Germany have seized what they are describing as a \"functional\" bomb and several model aeroplanes that neo-Nazis allegedly wanted to use in an attack.

Prosecutors in the city of Freiburg said a 23-year-old man with known links to far-right extremists was arrested on suspicion of commissioning the flying bomb.

A 42-year-old man believed to have built the bomb was detained but later released on bail. Police are also investigating two other men with far-right links.

Police said the bomb's targets were \"political enemies\" of the neo-Nazis, but gave no further details.

Prosecutors' office spokesman Wolfgang Maier said the bomb \"could have caused damaged in a 20-30 metre radius.\"

According to official figures, Neo-Nazis committed over 800 violent crimes in Germany last year.
