Teen friend of Munich attacker arrested

German police last night arrested a 16-year-old friend of the teenager who killed nine people during a shooting rampage in Munich.

The boy was detained amid suspicions he knew of Ali David Sonboly’s plans to carry out Friday’s attack but did not report it.

He is also suspected of being involved in the post on Facebook which lured young people to McDonald’s restaurant with the offer of free food. That fast-food outlet is in the shopping mall where the killings occurred.
