BERLIN (AFP) - German commandos stormed a KLM airliner at Cologne-Bonn airport on Friday, arresting two men suspected of wanting to carry out attacks, police said.

The Amsterdam-bound jet was stormed at 6:55 am (0455 GMT), police spokesman Frank Scheulen said.

A 23-year-old Somali and a 24-year-old German citizen of Somali origin were arrested, said Scheulen, spokesman for North Rhine-Westphalia state police.

Media reports said the two men had left notes in their apartments saying they were prepared to die in "holy war" and that they had been under police surveillance for several months.
