Local Editor

German prosecutors said they detained two suspected supporters of the so-called "Daesh" ["ISIL"] group and the Syrian militant organizations, the so-called "Ahrar al-Sham" and "Junud al-Sham".

One suspect, identified as 58-year-old Pakistani citizen Mirza Tamoor B., was taken into custody over accusations he helped take two militants from Germany to the extremist groups in Syria as well as providing 3,200 euros [$4,000] and a vehicle.

A 31-year-old German, identified only as Kais B.O. in line with German privacy rules, was arrested for allegedly recruiting militants for terror groups since 2013. Prosecutors say that three men joined terrorist groups in Syria at his instigation.

Federal prosecutors said the two were arrested on Wednesday.

Furthermore, the homes of six other suspected accomplices in western Germany were also raided.
