Presumed IS fighters arrested in Halle-investigations run!

In Halle an der Saale, a suspected fighter of the Islamic State (IS) has been arrested today. Announced by the Federal Prosecutor's office, an Iraqi who actively fought for the terrorist organization from 2014 to 2016 should be brought before the investigative judge of the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe. The public prosecutor raises serious allegations that relate to the membership of the arrested in a terrorist association abroad. The decision about a possible pre-trial detention is now imminent, as https://www.radiohochstift.de/nachrichten/paderborn-hoexter/detailsicht/karlsruhehalle-masslicher-is-is-kaempfer-in-halle) reports.

The arrested is part of a major problem that affects Germany with regard to Islamist terrorism. According to the [Deutschlandfunk, the federal prosecutor sees only an example in the fight against Islamist extremism. This arrest comes at a time when the security authorities are particularly attentive and take the threats seriously from Islamist terrorist militias.

a security risk?

As an analysis of the protection of the constitution shows, Islamist personal potential in Germany is currently estimated to be around 28,280 people. Among them are an estimated 9,540 people who are classified as violent. These numbers underline the persistent security situation and the need for measures for deradicalization and integration, especially for endangered young people. Membership in organizations such as IS that feeds from geopolitical crises is a fact that the security authorities cannot ignore. As can be read in the constitutional protection report, the danger situation is still high and is still high and becomes uphill by Islamist terrorism from crisis areas reinforced.

The returnees are particularly worrying, of which around 40 percent of the people who have traveled to Syria and Iraq are now back in Germany and some are in custody. These returnees, which are often militarily trained and ideologically indoctrinated, represent a potential security risk.

The threat situation

The dangers by IS have not been unnoticed in recent years. In many places, there were terrifying incidents, such as the attacks in Solingen or Mannheim, which illustrated the urgency of effective fighting terrorism. These events show that the security situation is not just a theory, but bitter everyday life.

The measures of the security forces, supported by the federal prosecutor, therefore seem to be trendy in order to remain well informed about the events and to counter potential dangers at an early stage. Let us remain optimistic that the authorities will continue to have a good hand in dealing with the threat of IS.
