Seven people have been detained in western Germany on suspicion of forming an Islamist terrorist cell, prosecutors said on July 6. They are also alleged to have supported the Islamic State extremist group. The men are from Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan, according to prosecutors. Another man and his wife were reportedly arrested by Dutch authorities. The man is also suspected of belonging to the group. Prosecutors said the men entered the country together shortly after the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 with the aim of "carrying out high-profile Islamic State-style terror attacks in Germany."
