The Federal Prosecutor’s office said the four suspects procured explosives to carry out terrorist attacks in small groups on targets including mosques, accommodation for asylum seekers, and well-known Salafis. According to the prosecutor’s office, 56-year old Andreas H., 39-year old Markus W., 22-year old Denise Vanessa G. and 47-year old Olaf O. are suspected of forming a right-wing terrorist group with other suspects called “Old-school Society”, no later than November last year. Acting on information from domestic intelligence agencies, the police arrested the suspects in raids across five German states involving some 250 investigators. In the search, pyrotechnics with large explosive power and further pieces of evidence were confiscated, according to the prosecutor’s statement. The investigation is examining whether the group had fixed targets or timings for attacks. AB/IINA
