(Reuters) Four Tajik men have been detained in Poland on charges of trying to recruit Muslim converts to carry out militant attacks, authorities said on Monday.
The four would be expelled and barred from reentering Poland and the rest of Europe’s Schengen area, Stanislaw Zaryn, the spokesman for the minister coordinating special forces, said.
“They were trying to recruit people who could be used to commit some kind of terrorist crimes,” Zaryn told Reuters.
“They were inspired by ISIS (Islamic State) … but they were not a part of the organisation,” he said.
