Police in Hesse raided over 50 properties early on Wednesday morning and arrested one suspect over an alleged plan to carry out a terror attack. Sixteen males between the ages of 16 and 46 are suspects in the investigation and searches involving more than 1,100 officers.
The main suspect, a 36-year-old Tunisian, is accused of recruiting for Isis in Germany and of planning to carry out a terror attack. Police say he was in the process of building up a terror network with the aim of carrying out an attack. The 36-year-old was the only person taken into custody.
An additional 3 people were arrested in Berlin on Tuesday, for trying to leave Germany to join the war in Syria and Iraq.
Those arrested frequented the same mosque attended by a Tunisian man suspected of ploughing a hijacked lorry into a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12. The December 19th attack was claimed by Isis.

Angela Merkel's plan of trying to gain support for the upcoming elections by attacking US president Donald Trump's recent actions, just backfired in her face as Germany continues to deal with the fallout of Merkel's immigration fiasco.
Thoughts?
