Both men also attended prayers at the Fussilet mosque in Berlin, which Amri visited on the day of the attack and where he used to sleep occasionally. The Fussilet mosque is run by an association named "Fussilet 33 e.V.," which had already attracted police attention for suspected Islamic State recruiting.
