Suspects 'attack plan Berlin' free: nothing found

berlin - The German authorities have released the six men who were arrested on the day of the Berlin half marathon. There is no evidence that they actually wanted to commit a terrorist attack during the sporting event, reports German media.

The police arrested the men on Sunday because they feared such an attack. According to a spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service, they had been struck by their suspicious behavior. The police have allegedly monitored them for a long time, because they may belong to radical Islamic circles.

However, nothing suspicious came to light during house searches. For example, the investigators found no weapons or explosives. Nothing has been disclosed about the nationality of the arrested men.
