Four members of the terrorist organization Hamas have been detained in Germany and the Netherlands on suspicion of planning to launch terrorist attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe, German prosecutors said Thursday.

Three of the four members, who have close links to Hamas's military leadership, were apprehended in Berlin, while one was arrested in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The suspects have been identified as Dutch national Nazih R, who was arrested by police in Rotterdam, Lebanon-born Abdelhamid Al A and Ibrahim El-R, and Egyptian national Mohamed B, who were arrested in Berlin, prosecutors said. Abdelhamid Al A had been assigned with sourcing weapons, which were due to be taken to Berlin and stored for possible attacks.
