The police said that far-right extremists planned to use “highly dangerous explosives”
Reflecting growing danger posed by far-right in Germany, police have foiled a far-right attack on refugee shelters in Bavaria, amid increasing violence and threats against refugees.
The police said that far-right extremists planned to use “highly dangerous explosives” in an attack on two government shelters for asylum-seekers in the town.
Police arrested 11 men and two women aged between 21 and 36, believed to be members of The Right, a small local far-Right party, and Nügida, a Bavarian offshoot of the PEGIDA anti-immigrant movement.
During police raids in the Bavarian town of Bamberg, police seized a gun, knives and illegal fireworks, as well as far-Right propaganda material.
The far-right group, which aimed to spread fear and terror, has been described as a “violent and brutal group” who “are dangerous and have to be taken seriously”.
The far-right extremists plan to attack the refugees on October 31, the same day in which anti-refugees protests are scheduled.
