BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- Over 5,500 German police took part in the country's biggest ever raid against militant Islamists in a nationwide crackdown on alleged members of a banned extremist organization.

The swoop Thursday, in 13 of Germany's 16 states, centered on over a thousand suspected members of the Cologne-based group known as the Kalifatstaat (Caliphate State), which the government outlawed in 2001 as unconstitutional and a threat to democracy.

HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - A Moroccan man on trial in Germany for abetting the Sept. 11 attacks was freed on Thursday in the light of secret new evidence, apparently from a captured al Qaeda leader.

Aldelghani Mzoudi was released after German investigators informed the court of new testimony showing he did not belong to the Hamburg al Qaeda cell said to have been instrumental in the Sept. 11, 2001 suicide hijack attacks which killed some 3,000 people in the United States.
