3 Syrians, Believed Sent by IS, Arrested in Germany
(AP-New York Times) Three Syrian men believed to have been sent to Germany last year by the Islamic State were arrested in raids on Tuesday, part of efforts to root out extremists sent to Europe amid the migrant influx. One of them, Mahir Al-H., joined IS in Raqqa, Syria, and received weapons and explosives training, prosecutors said. The three were provided with passports by IS and were given a "high four-figure sum" of cash in U.S. dollars as well as cellphones with a pre-installed communication program.
