3 men linked with ISIL arrested in Germany

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere has revealed the arrest of three Syrian men suspected to be linked with ISIL.

The Interior Minister revealed that the men who had been planning an attack on behalf of ISIL have been under observation for months.

Further information revealed that the three men who were arrested in northern Germany in the early hours of Tuesday have suspected links to the perpetrators of the Paris attacks.

According to Maiziere, the three men aged 17, 18 and 26 who all arrived in Karlsruhe, Germany in November appeared to have used the same smugglers and received passports from the same workshop as some of those involved in the November 13 attacks in the French capital of Paris.
