File Photo: DPAGerman police said they arrested nine drug trafficking suspects, including four suspected Islamist militants, in early morning raids Wednesday. Police arrested four "Islamists considered capable of resorting to violence", in the operation to dismantle a drug trafficking ring, said police and the Berlin public prosecutor's office in a statement. They also seized electronic devices, drugs and weapons after searching six locations in four different districts of Berlin. Arrest warrants had already been issued for three of the suspected Islamist militants, and the fourth was to be served with one later Wednesday. Police could also have arrested him months earlier for commercial-scale, organised drug trafficking, the Berlin minister in charge of security, Andreas Geisel, has claimed.
