Four Germans Nabbed for Plotting Islam Attacks; Found Group to Attack Mosques, Had Explosives

German authorities conducted raids across Germany today (May 6, 2015), seizing explosives and arresting four people accused of founding a right-wing extremist group to attack mosques and housing for asylum seekers, according to the NY Times website.

Police arrested three men and a woman accused of leading the group during raids by some 250 investigators on homes in Saxony and four other states, the federal prosecutor's office said in a statement.

Prosecutors allege the four helped found the "Oldschool Society" group and were planning to attack asylum-seeker housing, mosques, and well-known members of the Islamic-extremist Salafist scene in Germany.

The four arrested are being held on terrorism charges and are also accused of having procured explosives.
