Police in the German state of Hesse searched multiple locations in connection with investigations involving suspected “Islamic State” extremists, local authorities said Wednesday morning.
Ten search warrants were executed across the state “on suspicion of terrorist financing and the preparation of a serious, state-endangering act of violence” early Wednesday.
The accused included eight men and two women between the ages of 20 and 51, according to a statement by the public prosecutor’s office in Frankfurt am Main and the Hessian State Criminal Police Office.
