Berlin - Police early Thursday raided two-dozen sites in Berlin and Brandenburg in an effort to quell groups that support the terrorist Islamic State. The raids targeted 19 suspects, about half of them German nationals.
About 800 officers were involved in the raids. Some of the suspects frequented the radical Fussilet mosque that was closed in 2017 and was affiliated with Anis Amri, the driver of the truck in the Breitscheidplatz Christmas market attack.
