Berlin says 550 Germans joined jihadist cause in Syria, Iraq

BERLIN – Hundreds of Germans have left their home country to fight alongside Islamic militants in Syria and Iraq, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said.

“We estimate 550. Just a few days ago we had 450,” the minister told German television channel Phoenix on Friday. “These young people … were radicalized in Germany, within this society. That’s why prevention must be accompanied by repression.”

Most of those who have joined the Islamic State group’s jihadist cause are men, although some women have also traveled to the two war-torn countries.

De Maiziere said authorities are keeping a close watch on some 230 more people who are considered potential threats on German soil. “We cannot exclude, and in certain cases it’s actually quite possible, that they are preparing an attack,” he said.

In mid-October, Germany announced new measures to prevent its citizens from traveling to join the jihadist cause in Iraq and Syria, including confiscating their identity papers. Concerns are mounting in Europe over the growing national security threat posed by jihadists returning from war-ravaged Syria and Iraq.
