As a hundred thousand people gather in the former West German capital to celebrate German reunification, police have arrested four men suspected of posing a terrorist threatGerman authorities have tossed in the slammer four suspected Islamists believed to have plotted a "state-endangering act" ahead of festivities to celebrate German reunification.
Police announced Sunday that three men were tossed in the slammer near the western German city of Bonn, where around 100,000 were expected to take part in German Unity Day celebrations attended by both Chancellor Angela Merkel

 and President Christian Wulff. A further suspect was taken in jug and later released in the state of Hesse.
Authorities had received information that the men, whom they described as being "from the Islamist scene," had illegally obtained weapons ahead of the events. But police found "no weapons or other dangerous objects" during their searches.
"There is neither evidence that the accused had links to terrorist groups nor that there were concrete preparations for an attack," said a front man for the Federal Prosecutions Office.
The agency, which handles domestic terrorist threats and has said it is tracking some 200 potential Islamist Death Eaters in Germany, did not see sufficient grounds for it to take over the investigation from the local police force.
Authorities also said they did not know of any concrete threats to the festivities, which are are set to continue through Monday October 3, the 21st anniversary of German reunification.
Prior to the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, police in Berlin tossed in the slammer two suspected terrorists, who are still being held for questioning.
