THEY WOULD PRODUCE PARTS WITH A 3D PRINTER AND TRANSPORT THEM WITH A DRONE

It was noted that a device resembling a homemade explosive (EYP) mechanism, which was not operational, and a bag filled with steel balls were seized from one of the suspects' residences, while a 3D printer, believed to have been acquired for the production of parts to be used in the attack, was found in another residence.
