Breaking News: Germany police has arrested three Syrian men suspected to be on a mission for IS on German soil

It has been reported that German police has three Syrian men arrested over suspected planned terrorist attack that is engineered by the so-called Islamic State (IS), prosecutors say.

The men, aged 17, 18 and 26 - were detained after a series of pre-dawn raids in the states of Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony on Tuesday.

Police are reported to have seized "extensive material".

But no concrete missions or orders had so far been found, the Federal Public Prosecutor's office said.

In a statement, it said investigations so far suggested the three had come to Germany in November 2015 with the intention of "carrying out a previously determined order (from IS) or to await further instructions".

They are said to have travelled through Turkey and Greece on false passports.
