Germany wary of radicalisation of incoming refugees

Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) warned on 22 September 2015 against the radicalisation of refugees by Islamists in the country. The unit stated the number of radical Salafists had surged to 7,900 in September from 7,500 in June, and that many were trying to lure asylum-seekers into their ranks.
