German police raid sites linked to radical mosque, saying there is no place for 'people who preach hate'

Police have searched dozens of sites in Germany linked to a mosque that was frequented by Berlin market attacker Anis Amri, after authorities banned the Islamic group that operated the prayer house.

Some 450 officers raided 24 locations in Berlin, the neighbouring state of Brandenburg and Hamburg in northern Germany, starting at 6am local time (5am Irish Time).
