German authorities have indicted eight far-right extremists on suspicion they planned to start a violent uprising.
Federal prosecutors said Friday that they have formally indicted the German men, aged 21 to 31, on suspicion of forming a terrorist organisation.
The suspects were arrested last year in eastern Germany's Chemnitz area.
They are alleged to have formed a group calling itself "Revolution Chemnitz."
Several of the suspects are alleged to have been involved in an attack on a group of migrants in Chemnitz on Sept. 14.
Authorities intercepted communication between the men indicating that they were trying to obtain firearms.
German officials have warned that far-right extremists pose a serious threat to the country, after a violent neo-Nazi was arrested recently on suspicion of killing a pro-migrant politician.
