Germany to Deport two Citizens over Terror Attack Plot

A gun and a Daesh [Arabic acronym for "ISIS" / "ISIL"] flag were found at their homes during police raids in the central city of Gottingen.

However, the men had never been charged.

The criminal proceedings were dropped because police never established whether the suspects had planned to carry out an attack. Police said the two men are "dangerous".

Lower Saxony Interior Minister Boris Pistorius said the deportations would take place as soon as possible, and certainly before mid-April.

He said discussions were already under way with Algeria and Nigeria to facilitate this, and the two men would be subject to a "life-long re-entry ban", preventing their return to Germany.

If was not immediately clear if the two men would appeal against the decision.

Germany determines citizenship by the nationalities of one or both parents and also a person's place of birth.

The country had been on high alert since the Berlin Christmas market attack on 19 December, that left 12 people dead and dozens injured.
