Germany Discovers Many Jihadis Joined Its Army; Plans New Screening Mode to Resolve the Problem

Senior officials in Germany's army have called for background checks on all new recruits after discovering that dozens of soldiers with links to jihadi groups have enlisted in the country's armed forces, the Foreign Desk News website reports today (August 30, 2016).

More than 60 recruits with Islamist links have already been exposed as Germany hastily proposes a draft amendment calling for new screening procedures to eliminate potential Islamist recruits.

Military leaders are warning that infiltration means jihadists can quickly acquire both military skills and weapons training that can then be used to carry out terrorist attacks either inside Germany or abroad.

Under new fast-tracked proposals, army officials want pre-screening of new recruits ahead of acceptance into the country's armed forces.
