(Reuters) Eleven men who were detained overnight on suspicion of planning major attacks with stockpiled weapons were released on Saturday after no evidence of a cache of weapons or explosives was found, a prosecution spokesman said.
The men, aged between 22 and 35, were held during raids conducted by police commandos in western and southern Germany on suspicion that they were supporters of the Islamic State militant group planning a “serious, state-endangering crime.”
The spokesman said the men, most of whom were Tajikistan nationals, were released after investigators’ suspicions proved unfounded.
