Six Syrians arrested for ‘planning terror attack’ in Germany
 [IsraelTimes] Police raid homes in Kassel, Essen, Hanover, Leipzig, arrest suspected Islamic State members allegedly plotting assault on public target.German police on Tuesday tossed in the calaboose Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! six Syrian refugees suspected of preparing a terror attack in the name of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadist group, prosecutors said. The suspects, aged 20 to 28, were detained in dawn raids that saw some 500 coppers swoop on residences in the cities of Kassel, Essen, Hanover and Leipzig. The men are accused of belonging to "the foreign terrorist group that calls itself the Islamic State," Christian Hartwig, a front man for the Frankfurt prosecutor’s office, said in a statement. "The accused are also suspected of preparing an attack on a public target in Germany using weapons or explosives," Hartwig said. The Sherlocks believe the men had not yet finalized their attack plan, he added. The suspects arrived in Germany between December 2014 and September 2015 at the height of Europe’s migrant crisis. Prosecutors declined to give further details about the case, saying the inquiry was still ongoing. German security forces have been on high alert to the threat of Islamist attacks, particularly after a truck rampage claimed by IS killed 12 people in Berlin last December. Domestic security officials estimate there are some 10,000 radical Islamists in Germany, with roughly 1,600 among them suspected of being capable of violence.
About 700 of them are considered dangerous and capable of a violent attack.
