German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich said on Thursday that the government has banned one Islamist Salafist group and launched investigations against two others.
Friedrich told reporters in Berlin on Thursday that the Millatu Ibrahim group, based in Solingen in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia had been banned for opposing Germany's constitutional order and endangering the public peace.
He said investigations had been launched into two other groups. One of them recently drew attention by distributing free copies of the Koran in numerous German cities. [Deutsche Welle] Read more
