German prosecutors: detained Iraqi fought for IS (The Associated Press)
German prosecutors said Thursday that a 26-year-old Iraqi detained following an attack on a top soccer club is suspected of membership in the Islamic State group, but so far there is no evidence he was involved in the explosions that injured a Borussia Dortmund player and a police officer. Federal prosecutors said the Iraqi - identified only as Abdul Beset A. in line with German privacy laws - allegedly joined IS in Iraq by late 2014 and led a unit of about 10 fighters involved in preparing kidnappings, extortions and killings. A judge will decide Thursday on whether to keep A. in investigative detention, as requested by prosecutors.
