Four people arrested in Germany over planned terror attack on Muslims and asylum seekers
Three men and one woman were detained after raids in five German states
Four people have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of planning to attack mosques and hotels accommodating asylum seekers.
The suspects are accused of forming a far-right group known as the "Old Schools Society" and obtaining explosives, according to the BBC.
The German prosecutor’s office said the four German nationals were arrested in raids conducted in Bavaria, Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The prosecutor’s office said in a statement: "In the search, pyrotechnics with large explosive power and further pieces of evidence were confiscated.”
Authorities said they have not yet established whether the group had decided on specific targets or dates to launch any attack on.
They will appear before the investigating judge of the Federal Court on Thursday, according to reports.
