Per Fox News:
Three Iraqis detained in Lima, Peru with stolen German passports. They were en route to the US.
More info on above post. Two men and a woman. They were just trying to leave war torn Iraq, they’re “not terrorists”.

“Germany Tightens Security Over Increased Terror Threat”

BERLIN —
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Among the reasons for concern was the arrest in Pakistan of three German Islamic radicals, believed to be part of a group of 10 people trained to carry out suicide bombings, a top law enforcement official said.
Joerg Ziercke, head of the Federal Crime Office, Germany’s equivalent to the FBI, gave few details of the arrests. The suspects were young Germans who had converted to Islam and been radicalized, he said.
Ziercke cited an apparent video of a Taliban graduation ceremony for recruits — broadcast by U.S. ABC News on Thursday — that contained threats against not just the U.S., Britain and Canada but also Germany. He said that was “a new quality of threat” and said border controls had been tightened.”
