German authorities ban Muslim group for ties with Hezbollah
BERLIN, Germany — German authorities ban the Hamburg Islamic Centre, a Muslim religious association that has been under investigation for several months over its alleged support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group, which is backed by Iran.
The German Interior Ministry says in a statement that it “banned the Hamburg Islamic Centre and its affiliated organizations throughout Germany to date, as it is an Islamist extremist organization pursuing anti-constitutional objectives,” adding that “searches” were being carried out Wednesday morning in 53 properties associated with the group.
