#Germany: 3 Arrested in Raids Seeking #Extremists

Local Editor

German authorities say three people have been arrested in raids conducted as part of efforts to root out people sent to Europe by Daesh [Arabic Acronym for "ISIS"/ "ISIL"] or other extremists amid the migrant influx.

The Federal Criminal Police Office said six locations in two German states were searched Tuesday.

It said three people were detained and "extensive material" seized, but didn’t give more details. The raids were first reported by the daily Die Welt.

The office noted that the attacks in Paris and Brussels over the past year showed that Daesh has used the migrant flow to send people to Europe.
