RawStory, originally from Agence France-Presse.

Eight members of a German far-right group were sentenced to jail Wednesday on terrorism and attempted murder charges for a series of explosives attacks targeting refugees and anti-fascist activists.

Based in Germany's ex-communist east, the so-called "Freital group" had sought to create "a climate of fear" at the height of Germany's refugee and migrant influx in 2015, the court was told.

Its leaders Timo Schulz and Patrick Festing were sentenced to 10 and nine-and-a-half years prison respectively. The other six received custodial terms of between four and eight-and-a-half years.

    I have seen that policy first hand. Germany and Germans suffer because, like most of the suffering in this world, they want what they cannot have. In this case, they don't want to do research on the people they are inviting inside their country. They don't want to put money in teaching these people their language, and they don't want to train their citizens for the upcoming change in their society. What they want is to wave the magic wand and have all the laborers they are running short of. USA has done wonders inviting Asians/Indians to the country, but Germany has almost no need for intelligent citizens. Unfortunately, the times have changed since so many decades and current Syrian refugees are not the same as Turkish immigrants who just want to sit tight, pray 5 times a day and do the dirty job. The world is interconnected and every tom dick and harry carries internet access in the pocket and dreams of just deserves.
