Germans arrest 'al-Qaeda members' Trying to Buy Uranium

"The men are accused of planning suicide attacks and of trying to buy uranium.

The 29-year-old Iraqi and a 31-year-old Palestinian were detained during early morning police raids in Mainz and Bonn, Federal Prosecutor Kay Nehm said.

The BBC's Ray Furlong in Berlin says the arrests come at a sensitive time, as US President George W Bush is due to visit Mainz next month.

Mr Nehm said the two men had been under police surveillance for some time.

One of the men had allegedly trained at al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan and had links with Osama Bin Laden.

As well as planning attacks, the suspects were also accused of trying to obtain uranium in Luxembourg, Mr Nehm said. "
