Islamic State militants have slipped into Europe disguised as refugees, the head of Germany's domestic intelligence agency (BfV) said on Friday, a day after security forces thwarted a potential IS attack in Berlin.
Hans-Georg Maassen said the terrorist attacks in Paris last November had shown that Islamic State was deliberately planting terrorists among the refugees flowing into Europe.
"Then we have repeatedly seen that terrorists ... have slipped in camouflaged or disguised as refugees. This is a fact that the security agencies are facing," Maassen told ZDF television.
"We are trying to recognize and identify whether there are still more IS fighters or terrorists from IS that have slipped in," he added.
The Berliner Zeitung newspaper cited Maassen on Friday as saying that the BfV had received more than 100 tip-offs that there were Islamic State fighters among the refugees currently staying in Germany.
German fears about an attack have risen since the Paris killings. On Thursday, German forces arrested two men suspected of links to Islamic State militants preparing an attack in the German capital.

If this still is news to Americans and the West, then we are in for a lot of hurt ( an understatement ).

I wonder how much spying was required to ferret out these bits of intelligence.

This just can’t be true. It is reported on the internet, and you know what Abraham Lincoln said about things on the internet. (And he was a Republican)

There is only one possible conclusion from this story! The German spy agency is filled with immigrant-hating neo-nazis. And micro-aggressioners. And other bad hyphenated people.
I expect that Merkel will be cleaning house there shortly.

Everybody here has known this for months, yet the ‘I have no idea who the Vice President is’ crowd calls us a bunch of heartless, xenophobic bigots.

Won't help sway Merkel and other Europeans - common sense has been saying this since the beginning, and has been resolutely ignored.
