Germany braced for terror attacks
Islamic extremists who trained at terrorist camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan may be plotting attacks in Germany, the head of the country’s federal crime office said in comments released today.
Joerg Ziercke, head of the Bundeskriminalamt – Germany’s FBI equivalent – told the daily Tagesspiegel that some 50 aspiring militants from Germany have been trained in camps run by al-Qaida, the Taliban or the Islamic Jihad Union.
