Authorities in Germany detained two Iraqi nationals on
suspicion of terrorism after investigators tied them to ISIS, German media
outlet DPA reported on Thursday.
Quoting the spokeswoman for the Dusseldorf State
Prosecutor’s Office, DPA indicated that investigators believe they fought
alongside ISIS in Iraq from at least mid-2015 until the end of 2016.
Police arrested the suspects in the western towns of Hoxter
and Bottrop in North Rhine-Westphalia after Federal Criminal Police Office
(BKA) received a tip that led investigators to them. Officers also seized
mobile phones and laptops during searches of their homes.
According to DPA, Berlin said they have found no evidence
that the two men were planning attacks in Germany.
Last month, the Telegraph said UK court sentenced an Iraqi
man previously convicted of ISIS membership in Germany to two years in prison
after he illegally entered Britain by small boat from France.
