Two terrorist suspects linked to the unsuccessful attacks on trains in Germany last year were arrested in Prague on Wednesday, the Austrian news agency APA reported on Thursday, citing Austrian Interior Minister Herbert Kickl. The information was confirmed by the Czech Police Presidium.

The two foreign nationals, a man and a woman, are reportedly associated with an Iraqi man arrested in Vienna on Monday, who is suspected of carrying out unsuccessful attacks on trains in neighbouring Germany last October and December. According to Austrian officials, they are believed to have links to Islamic State militants. Prague Municipal Court has to decide by Friday whether the suspects will be remanded in custody.
