German police have arrested two suspected Islamists for allegedly planning a firearms attack near the Swedish parliament, APA reports citing Deutsche Welle.

Germany's Federal Prosecutor's Office on Tuesday said two suspected supporters of the so-called "Islamic State" (IS) jihadist militia had been arrested in the central German state of Thuringia.

Prosecutors allege that the two Afghan nationals had hatched a plot to carry out an attack near the Swedish legislature in retaliation for Quran book burnings in the country.
