Task Force: Germany and Shahin F

task force: The suspects, who had refugee status in Germany, had been under surveillance for some time by a task force of around 200 investigators, said Holger Muench, the head of Germany's federal police, according to CTV. The case shows that the threat of Islamic terrorism is still present, Muench told reporters. Federal prosecutors said Shahin F. and Hersh F., both 23, and Rauf S., 36, were taken into custody in an early morning raid by a police SWAT team in the area of Dithmarschen, near the border with Denmark. It wasn't immediately clear when the suspects came to Germany. The involvement of several asylum-seekers in extremist attacks or plots has helped boost support for the anti-migrant Alternative for Germany party. More than 1 million asylum-seekers entered Germany in 2015-16, most from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
