German city-state of Bremen shut down an Islamic cultural center on Tuesday after police raided it and the apartment
The northern German city-state of Bremen shut down an Islamic cultural center on Tuesday after police raided it and the apartments of 12 of its members on suspicion of associations with Islamist militants.
Reporting from Reuters, Bremen Interior Minister Ulrich Maeurer said that the Islamic Association of Bremen was closely linked to a similar cultural organization that was banned after some of its members joined the so-called Islamic State insurgent group in Syria.
More than 220 officers participated in the raids, confiscating mobile phones, computers, hard drives and other memory cards, Maeurer told a news conference.
