The Associated Press FRANKFURT, Germany Feb. 6 — Police in Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate state searched dozens of mosques and Islamic organizations Friday, detaining one man, as part of efforts to clamp down on terrorism. Across the western state, about 150 officers conducted searches that also involved checking the papers of more than 70 people, the state criminal office said in a statement. One man was detained on suspicion of being in the country illegally, it said.
The searches were part of efforts to "further clarify Islamic structures," the statement said.
Most of the searches were in the state capital of Mainz and the city of Worms.

Hmmm. Should/won't/can't happen here or in Iraq. But then, who knows what intel is being developed. *fingers crossed for the necessary*

Hopefully they dig up the concrete looking for bunkers tunnels and secret weapons caches
Monitor all their commo between cells inside Germany as well as traffic between the middle east
SE Asia and the west...
Whoever gives them solace has invited nothing but trouble to his door

We definitely need to "clarify Islamic structures." Good idea.

If the French started to do this they would find out they have a very serious problem there.
