Three suspects with alleged links to the Islamic State terrorist group have been arrested in Berlin. Prior to the arrests - a mosque, which Christmas market attacker Anis Amri frequented - was raided, according to media reports. 

Berlin police arrested three people late Tuesday, the Bild newspaper reported, citing the prosecutor’s office. 

German security agencies are reportedly investigating an alleged "state-threatening" offence, however it remained unclear whether the suspects had any concrete plans to carry out an attack in Berlin. All of them are being investigated on suspicion of radicalism and links to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorist group. 

Shortly before the arrests, Berlin’s Fussilet 33 mosque was reportedly raided by the police. All three suspects were nabbed close to the vicinity of the mosque, according to the newspaper.--REUTERS
