Germany bans Islamic organization, police search 190 sites
BERLIN — Hundreds of police officers searched about 190 offices, mosques and apartments of members and supporters of the Islamic group “The true religion” as the German government announced a ban of the organization Tuesday.
Police raided places in 60 cities in western Germany and also in Berlin seizing documents and files, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said. Nobody was detained.
The group — also known as “Read!” — has been distributing German-language copies of the Quran across the country.
