Story continues below advertisementPolice have foiled an ISIS-inspired knife attack on Sunday’s half-marathon in Berlin.
Special police forces detained four men in connection with the sporting event that was attended by 36,000, German daily Die Welt reports.
They said the main suspect was planning to kill participants and spectators with knives.
According to Die Welt, the main suspect knew Anis Amri, the Tunisian attacker who targeted a Christmas market in 2016.
Amri killed 12 people when he hijacked a lorry and drove it into the crowded market in Berlin on December 19, 2016.
The paper reported that the suspect, who was not identified, had prepared extra-sharpened knives to use in the attack.
The suspect had in his possession two knives which had been especially sharpened for this purpose, the report said.
Amri’s attack in Berlin in 2016 had prompted German lawmakers to call for tougher security measures.

ShareNo major Islamist militant attack has been carried out in Germany since.
Last month, Italian police arrested five people connected to 24-year-old Amri.
Police said one of the five was believed to have procured the fake Italian identity papers that allowed Amri, a failed asylum-seeker, to move around Europe.

Earlier on Sunday, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said the government would do everything possible to protect citizens.
He added: ‘We have again experienced that … absolute security is unfortunately not possible.’
The main suspect knew Anis Amri (pictured), the Tunisian attacker who targeted a Christmas market in 2016
Seehofer was speaking in Munster, where a man drove a camper van into a group of people sitting outside a restaurant on Saturday, killing two of them before shooting himself dead.
Authorities have said the attacker was a 48-year-old German citizen with mental health problems and that there was no indication of an Islamist militant connection.
A top German security official said there was no indication of an Islamist motive but officials were investigating all possibilities.
Witnesses said people ran away screaming from the city square after the crash at 3.27pm on Saturday.
Local media reports claim the 48-year-old man – named locally as Jens R. – had been in contact with far-right groups.He was a Munster resident and apparently well-of.f
He was well-known to police and had a history of run-ins with the law, German prosecutors said, adding that they believe he acted alone.
The city’s police president, Hajo Kuhlisch, said the man’s four apartments – two in Munster and two in Saxony – and several cars had been searched thoroughly, but officers were still investigating the evidence and it was too early to speculate about a motive.

As regards that car jihad yesterday, the Germans let slip that the fellow was…Amish, then covered it up to protect Chancellor Merkel’s suicidal policies and to stop the fictional backlash against the…Amish we are always harrangued about.
It goes without saying that he as a Muslim or a Muslim convert.
Maybe they are tired of LYING about it?
Using a Truck as a Weapon Called an ‘Evolution’ in Terror Strategy
By TESSA BERENSON July 15, 2016
ISIS had urged its followers to use vehicles as weapons in lone wolf attacks before the deadly attack in Nice that claimed 84 lives, it emerged Friday — and one expert says the truck attack represents an “evolution” in how terrorists target civilians.
Rukmini Callimachi, a New York Times correspondent focusing on al-Qaeda and ISIS posted a screenshot on her Twitter account of ISIS’ Cyber Caliphate channel instructing “individual wolves” to use cars for ‘remming’ them.

Even LIBERAL Time magazine realizes that!
Is an “especially sharpened” knife similar to a high capacity magazine?
Good thing there is something sharp in germany, as germans definitely aren’t.
And the clown Left/liberal Pope wants christians to take in more of these Islamic wolves http://tinyurl.com/ydy8fkhl
Insane ?
Just plain EVIL!
Those in positions of leadership are held to a higher accountability. I would NOT want to be Pope Dope when he takes his last breathe.

Now who would NOT have guessed that?
I wondered why the surname was simply given by an initial.
Actually the media is well aware of the jihad going on around us all. Think they don’t take Muslim investment? The mainstream media supports the jihad as it is news and jihad news is how they get Muslim advertising revenue. That’s why Canada’s Prime Moron Jihad Trudope was on a magazine cover. They were paying respect to the true leader of all jihadists.
By erasing Christianity, they are also erasing western civilization. What they want is to replace it with, is a one world Communist government. Communism has no allowance for “religion” so Islam will need to go!
What do you think these Social Justice Warriors (SJW) and Income Inequality people are about? Communism!
Notice how a “universal income” is picking up in popularity.
Universal Income Project – Universal Income Project
The Universal Income Project is devoted to the expansion of economic security and human dignity through the implementation of a universal basic income in America. We build networks and use creative tools to educate, popularize, and organize around this radically common-sense idea.
Notice how those, sitting in their ivory towers, are never advocating for a pay decrease … say for professors and administrators … in order for the janitorial staff to have raises to their levels.
When Germany eventually SUBMITS, then there will be peace.
When germany submits? It already has, now jihad is being pushed to the eastern part of europe.
German has to do it formally instead of pretending they are fighting it. As long as they arrest even one Muslim for Islamic terrorism, I don’t consider it a formal surrender.
No there won’t. Long before joining together to fight infidels Muslims were fighting each other in perpetuity. If there are no infidels left to kill, they will revert to fighting each other or persecuting the minority group. As they do in every majority Muslim country already.
The news in Germany just stated the initial connection to Amri was false.
God is laughing…YOU MURDERED MY PEOPLE, I am sending replacement people to kill you.
Oh, but Germany feels sorry for these cretins, because they are all “mentally ill”.
It could just be that Germany just needs to make and distribute some t-shirts show that planning to kill people with knives is not an acceptable practice. The jihadists probably just do not understand that what they were planning is frowned upon in western culture.
AT LEAST the USUAL PARROTS are not calling: ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE & VIOLENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM!!
BUT – THEY ARE ENACTING BLASPHEMY LAWS WHICH ARE ACTUALLY MORE OF A WORRY AS FREE SPEECH ENDS.
THE HATE LAWS IN BRITAIN – ARE LEADING TOWARDS TOTALITARIAN FASCISM!!
