Syrian refugees in Germany reported they saw a former "ISIS" member living in Frankfurt, and that this is not an isolated case. However, police investigated but refused to file charges because the alleged terrorist has done nothing criminal in Germany.

’ISIS’ Militants in Germany, Living among Refugees?

Assyrian Christians living in German Saarland region who had been held hostage by "ISIS" recalled that while being held in the group's captivity, the only thing they prayed for was to be shot instead of being beheaded.

The same community, now living in the city of Saarlouis, say the horrors of that experience followed them all the way to Germany, after they found out that a man they say had ties to "ISIS" is living among them.

The Assyrian community now feels very insecure as "this was not the first case" a former "ISIS" member had been recognized. Relatively, some people are even considering leaving Germany, but do not know where to run to.

In the context, the community leaders said that once they were convinced the "refugee" was in fact a former militant, they went straight to the police.

Chairman of the Assyrian Culture Association, Charlie Kanoun, noted that: "The police have taken this very seriously, but we worry that the law cannot back this up with a strong case. They have to wait until this person does something criminal here."

Police confirmed that an investigation is underway, but no charges relating to terrorism or any other crime have been brought.

As the investigation continues, and with the influx of refugees showing no signs of slowing, the question is being asked as to who exactly is coming to Europe.

Last February, the terrorist group kidnapped around 250 Assyrian Christians and demanded ransoms of $100,000 per person. Some have since been released but many are still in captivity.

For its part, the National Police Bureau of Saarland reported that the German security services are currently preparing findings on more than 790 German extremists who traveled to Syria.

Germany has seen increasing tensions over the migrant issue. Recently scuffles broke out between police and a group of protesters who were attempting to disrupt a right-wing rally near Berlin.
