[Ynet] Austrian police detained 13 people in a dragnet on Friday aimed at suspected jihadis working to radicalise young people and encourage them to join bully boy forces in Syria, prosecutors in Graz said. Media said nearly 500 police searched mosques and prayer rooms in Vienna, Graz and Linz on Friday as part of the investigation, which comes amid a European crackdown on fighters who have joined up with radical forces in Syria and Iraq. Prosecutors said in a statement that they had questioned 16 people in the investigation of suspected members of a terrorist organization. Authorities seized "terrorist propaganda material", cash and illegal iron knuckles in the raids. |
