German authorities said on Thursday they suspected a Kosovo man, Arid Uka, arrested over the fatal shooting of two US airmen was an Islamic extremist, but played down fears he was part of a cell.
In view of the circumstances, there is a suspicion that this was an act with Islamist motivation, federal prosecutors said after Wednesday`s shooting on a bus at Frankfurt airport.
Boris Rhein, interior minister of the western German state of Hesse, said the suspect, now in custody, had worked at the airport in a postal distribution centre, but said there was no evidence he was part of an extremist group.
Currently, investigations indicate that he was working alone and there is no evidence of any network, said Rhein.
Germany`s federal interior minister said he saw no reason to boost police presence around the country.
A month ago German authorities had announced that additional security measures imposed late last year in response to indications of an imminent terrorist attack were set to be gradually scaled back.
The 21-year-old man from Muslim-majority Kosovo cried Allahu Akhbar (God is Greatest), reports quoted witnesses as saying, before opening fire on the bus at one of Europe`s busiest airports.
In what, if confirmed, would be the first Islamist terror attack on German soil, the incident also left two US airmen there were around a dozen on board seriously injured.
One of them was reportedly shot in the head and was fighting for his life on Thursday in a Frankfurt hospital. The other was also in intensive care.
A saddened and outraged US President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that Washington would spare no effort in learning how this outrageous act took place.
Investigators were studying a page on social networking website Facebook believed to belong to the suspect on which he made no secret of his extremist tendencies, and other Internet evidence of his radicalism, reports said.
