5 Islamic State Suspects Arrested in Germany
By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER, ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — Nov 8, 2016, 9:25 AM ET
German authorities on Tuesday arrested five men who allegedly aided the Islamic State group in Germany by recruiting members and providing financial and logistical help.
The federal prosecutor's office said in a statement that the men were arrested on suspicion of supporting a terrorist organization. The arrests were made in a series of raids in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the northern state of Lower Saxony.
The country's justice minister, Heiko Maas, called the arrests "an important blow to the extremist scene in Germany."

The five men arrested Tuesday are suspected of recruiting young Muslims in Germany, and raising funds to send them to Syria to join IS, prosecutors said. They're also accused of providing logistical support for the trips.
