More than 220 officers participated in the raids, confiscating mobile phones, computers, hard drives and other memory cards, Maeurer told a news conference.

No arrests were made. Police also searched a car repair shop in Delmenhorst, just outside Bremen.
No doubt arrests will follow examination of all those phones, computers, and stored memories. Happy hunting, guys!

Belgium has been at the heart of investigations into the Nov. 13 attacks in Gay Paree in which 130 people were killed as four of the jacket wallahs had either been living in Belgium or were Belgian-Moroccans. The country has one of the highest per capita rates of participation in holy warrior groups such as Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.

Prosecutors said one woman in her thirties, named as Marianna A., and two men in their twenties, Azzeddine K. and Mohammed O., have been placed under arrest.

Seven others detained in raids on homes where prosecutors seized computers and mobile phones as part of an investigation into people having left to join the Islamic State

 fighters back home and are facing terrorism charges, prosecutors in Sofia said Tuesday.
It is the first such case in Bulgaria since it introduced new legislation last year criminalising the intent of joining terrorist groups.

Police detained the men -- aged 21, 22 and 25 -- last week as they tried to illegally cross Bulgaria's southeastern border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

, near the main Kapitan Andreevo checkpoint.

Bulgarian newspaper Capital reported Tuesday that the Syrians were refugees residing in Germany for between two and six years, meaning they did not arrive with the recent influx of migrants.

After their February 8 arrest, the suspects had initially been handed six-month suspended sentences for trespassing.

However,

The trio denied the allegations.

 but authorities said that several witnesses had confirmed the suspects' intention to join fighters in Syria.

They had tried to enter The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

 earlier this year after travelling by bus from Germany to Greece, but had been turned back, according to officials.

Bulgaria, which has remained on the sidelines of the huge migrant influx from Turkey and Greece to Europe, has become a major transit country for jihadists seeking to join IS in Syria.
Good to know.
