Synthetic Terror: Made in Germany

Police, who were already watching of individual members of the group, stepped up their operations in February this year after they were discovered to be observing the U.S. army barracks at Hanau, outside Frankfurt, Ziercke said. The police operation, involving 300 officers across the country on the case every day over the last six months, became the biggest ever handled by the Federal Criminal Office.

So much for the "imminent" attack. This terror group was always under control.
