This was preceded by months of investigations against the group of Tajiks. These entered Germany with the start of the war in Ukraine in spring 2022, formed a terrorist organisation there from June 2022 at the latest, according to the newspaper Bild.

The men are said to have links to the Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISPK). Intelligence services say it is the most dangerous terrorist group in the world. It is suspected that parts of the group have even been deliberately smuggled into Germany to carry out attacks. The spokeswoman of the Federal Prosecutor General told the German newspaper: “The suspects have planned attacks in the style of the Islamic State in Germany. They have also already tried to obtain weapons and may have already spied on potential attack targets in Germany.”
