 "Germany probes Syrian asylum-seeker for IS links: report")
German police are investigating an asylum-seeker on suspicion that he fought for the Islamic State group in Syria, a newspaper reported today.
The suspect is a Syrian national and lives in an asylum-seeker shelter in the northeast region of Brandenburg, the Welt am Sonntag reported, quoting security sources.
The man had allegedly told other migrants living in the centre that he had fought for the IS group and killed people.
Investigators are now trying to determine if the Syrian was indeed a member of the IS, the newspaper reported.
Despite the case, federal police do not believe that Islamists are infiltrating Germany through the influx of refugees.
