Anti-terror police in Germany have arrested a man codenamed 'The Tailor' who they claim ran a secret textile factory supplying large amounts of clothes and boots for ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Syria.
The Lebanese man, identified only as 31-year-old Kassem R., was woken up at his home in a suburb of Bonn by GSG-9 officers blowing off the front door of his apartment with explosives.
Similar raids at other addresses in Germany on Saturday resulted in more arrests of ISIS sympathisers.
He was led away for questioning along with his wife and children.
Computers, mobile phones and paperwork were seized by officers who suspect him of supplying ISIS terrorists with combat suits, 7,500 pairs of boots, 6,000 military-issue parkas and 100 military shirts - in all worth £100,000 - from a secret plant inside Germany.
Fifteen people were held in other raids in Germany as the intelligence service attempts to dismantle the support system underwriting the killers on the ground in the Middle East.
A 38-year-old Tunisian called Kamel Ben Yahia S. is accused of also sending clothing and cash to ISIS while Yusup G., 28, a Russian, was identified as the quartermaster responsible for shipping the goods.
