Authorities in northern Germany have banned an organization
that they say was a "hot spot" for Islamic extremists and searched a
mosque that the group runs.
The state interior ministry in Lower Saxony on Tuesday
announced a ban on the "German-speaking Islam Group Hildesheim,"
known by its German acronym DIK.
The group, based in the city of Hildesheim, was long known
as a center for ultraconservative Muslims known as Salafists, and the mosque
had been raided last year. Apartments also were searched Tuesday.
News agency dpa quoted Interior Minister Boris Pistorius as
saying: "With the ban on the group, a hot spot of the radical Salafist
scene in Germany has been dismantled."
Authorities suspect that Muslims were radicalized in the
organization and motivated to take part in jihad.
