German police have searched the homes of five people suspected of being members of Islamic State, federal prosecutors said on Tuesday.
No one was arrested during the raids carried out in the south-western town of Filderstadt, in Potsdam just outside Berlin and in the Limburg-Weilburg region in central Germany, the country's highest prosecuting authority in Karlsruhe said.
Besides membership in a foreign terrorist organization, the suspects are being investigated on suspicion of having entered Germany to connect with other Islamic State supporters in the country and across Europe and to raise funds for the extremist group.
Further raids were carried out at premises linked to 11 people who are not considered suspects.
