Isis flags, weapons, and other items found in the raids on the two suspects. State prosecutors said on Tuesday that though the two men had discussed attack plans, there was not enough evidence to support authorities’ initial suspicion that the men were “preparing a serious crime against the state”. At the time, Göttingen's police chief Uwe Lührig said that they had gained knowledge of a possible concrete and imminent attack, and therefore a quick police operation was necessary. But according to prosecutors on Tuesday, while the men had in fact discussed preliminary ideas for an attack, they “had not committed any concrete crime”. Unconfirmed DPA information claimed that the men had discussed killing police officers.
