“Police in Germany have arrested eight suspected members of a far-right terror cell alleged to have been plotting the armed takeover of eastern regions to establish a Nazi-inspired regime that would carry out ‘ethnic cleansing,’ federal prosecutors said. Amid a crackdown on neo-Nazi militants, the German nationals calling themselves Sachsische Separatisten (Saxonian Separatists) were taken into custody on Tuesday in pre-dawn raids on 20 premises in eastern Germany and the Polish border city of Zgorzelec, with another seven suspects in investigators’ sights. Spiegel magazine reported that three of the suspects were politicians who had held local office for the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland party.” (11/05/24)
