Fitna set Koranic texts against a background of violent images, which the agency said "is considered a major insult and provocation" by terrorist groups. The country's terrorist threat has been rated as "substantial" since the film's launch in March. Frank Wallenta, a spokesman for federal prosecutors in Germany, said the arrests in Cologne were not related to an announcement Thursday that two men linked to terrorist suspects may be on their way back to Germany.

The men are linked to a foiled plot to attack American targets in Germany in 2007.
