Germany arrests 2 suspected Islamic State supporters
BERLIN - Two men suspected of supporting the Islamic State group were arrested in Germany on Saturday, while the homes of several others were searched, German prosecutors said.
Federal prosecutors said the two were arrested in the western city of Aachen. They were identified only as Tunisian citizen Kamel Ben Yahia S. and Russian national Yusup G. because of German privacy rules.
The Tunisian is accused of providing clothing worth over 1,100 euros ($1,400) and 3,400 euros in cash to IS, and smuggling a 17-year-old boy from Germany to Syria to join it. The Russian is accused of participating in the smuggling.
Six others suspected of helping them had their homes searched. One was temporarily detained.
