Police raided a mosque in Berlin tonight as they searched for Europe’s most wanted man.
Elite commando units hunting for Anis Amri, 24, blew up the front door, threw in stun grenades and witnesses reported hearing gunfire.
The target was the ‘Fussilet 33’ association’s building in Perleberger Straße in the south-east of the capital. Neighbouring flats are also being searched, according to German media.
It was raided in 2015 over allegations they were raising money for extremists in Syria. An imam was put under investigation.
This morning four associates of Amri were arrested as police raided addresses across the country.
