Radical Islamists living in Berlin might have been preparing a series of terror acts in Russia, Itar-Tass reports quoting German police sources.

Some of the planned attacks were supposed to involve suicide bombers.

German authorities released information after the wrap-up of a large-scale anti-terror operation.

They managed to track the Islamist group after receiving information from Russia and international anti-terror bodies.

Around 150 policemen searched 26 houses and apartments of suspected terrorists.

According to preliminary findings, the group, headed by a well-known Islamist of Arab origin, was made up of 15 people.

Police say some of the group members traveled to Pakistan and secretly trained in Al-Qaeda camps.

After questioning, all Islamists have been set free.

Its a fact that German intelligence BND has been sponsoring terrorism in Bosnia, Kosovo and Chechnya the most famous BND link agent being Mohammed Atta and the Frankfurt cell originally being recruited to fight in Chechnya who had Jihadist recruitment videos in there apartment from the so called Al Qaeda spokesperson in Europe Jordanian Abu Qatada who the mainstream newspapers even admitted was in the payroll of British MI6 and was caught in 2000 with a letter in an envelope with £1500 in it to Chechen militants. The only thing surprising about this is that it was actually publicised this incident. I guess because they were tip of by Russian intelligence.
