BBC: German police arrest 10 people on suspicion of planning Islamist attack
Police in Germany have arrested 10 people on suspicion of planning an Islamist attack.
The arrests were made after some 200 police officers carried out raids in the states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.
The men had plotted to "kill as many 'non-believers' as possible" using a vehicle and guns, prosecutors said.
A 21-year-old man from Offenbach, near Frankfurt, and two 31-year-old brothers from Wiesbaden are the main suspects.
"They had already made contact with different arms dealers, rented a large vehicle and collected financial assets to use for the purchase of guns and the execution of the planned murders," a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office said.
The suspects are aged between 20 and 42 and several are
German nationals, the spokeswoman added.
