That means taking the initiative. You know, as in arresting two Salafists in Berlin Wedding on suspicion of recruiting fighters for Isis in Syria?
And it’s about freaking time, people. And congratulations to Belgium on their fine catch, too.
Following the recent attacks in Paris and the thwarting on Thursday of a terrorist plot in Belgium, 250 officers simultaneously raided 11 addresses across the German capital.

Any connection to the German gov’t claiming these extremists planned an attack in Dresden? At the train station? Methinks so…
Yup. “German authorities have received specific warnings of the risk of militant attacks on central railway stations in Berlin and Dresden.” Did these specific warnings come from the EVIL NSA or from the EVIL CIA? Funny how that’s not really an issue at the moment.
Interesting how Germany felt it had to clarify. I expect Mutti may not let them march this week, or maybe the next few, to protect them. Short term it may slow Pegida, long term exactly the opposite.
So Merkel finally managed to shut down pegida. Short term fix.
