(National-UAE) Jailed ISIS fighters in Europe may have been radicalised further in prison by the time they are released, the head of Germany’s domestic intelligence service has said.
Thomas Haldenwang sounded the alarm over extremists due to be released in 2022 after serving sentences for joining the terror group.
As Germany marked five years since an extremist slipped through the security net and killed 12 people at a Christmas market, Mr Haldenwang said the state would have to “examine each individual case” of militants going free.
“We need to know what’s happening in prisons, who is being radicalised further,” said Mr Haldenwang, the head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
