Germany probes Syrian asylum-seeker for IS links: report
Highlights

German police are investigating an asylum-seeker on suspicion that he fought for the Islamic State group in Syria, newspaper Welt am Sonntag reported Sunday.
The suspect is a Syrian national and lives in an asylum-seeker shelter in the northeast region of Brandenburg, the newspaper reported, quoting security sources.
The man had allegedly told other migrants living in the centre that he had fought for the IS group and killed people.
But other residents of the shelter, leading to the probe, filmed his claims secretly with a mobile telephone.
Investigators are now trying to determine if the Syrian was indeed a member of the IS, the newspaper reported.
Despite the case, federal police do not believe that Islamists are infiltrating Germany through the influx of refugees.
