BERLIN (BNO NEWS) -- Three suspected members of the al-Qaeda terrorist organization were arrested in Germany on Friday morning, officials said.

The office of Attorney General Monika Harms said officers from the Federal Criminal Police Office arrested three terror suspects on Friday morning. The statement gave no details on where they were arrested or what led to it.

"The accused will be presented tomorrow, on Saturday, to the investigating judge of the Federal Court," the statement said, adding that more details would be released during a news conference on Saturday.

Late last year, the German Spiegel magazine reported that al-Qaeda and several associated groups are or were planning to attack the German parliament in a Mumbai-style terror attack this year.
