adminBerlin – German police arrested several men suspected of supporting militant groups, including ISIS, and raided numerous properties in a large operation against alleged radicals, federal prosecutors said yesterday. Some 240 police officers took part in the sweep, which targeted a network believed to support Islamists in Syria.
A 58-year-old Pakistani man, Mirza Tamoor B, was arrested on suspicion that he smuggled two fighters from Germany to Syria, while a 31-year-old German, Kais B O, was detained on suspicion of recruiting three other potential jihadists and helping them to travel to Syria, prosecutors said.
The two are also believed to have sent more than $3,700 to support ISIS and other radical groups.
Local media reported that several other men were arrested on more minor charges, including robbing churches and schools to provide money for Islamists. – Reuters
