Islamic gangs in Germany have broken into schools and churches and plundered collection boxes, crosses and other valuable and sacred objects used in church services, according to prosecutors.
From the schools, the men stole laptops, money and a cash card, which they used to finance ISIS jihadist fighters seeking to topple the regime of Syrian president Bashur al-Assad, alleged chief prosecutor Nadja Gudermann.
The pilfered churches were in the area around Cologne, a city known for its many historic and beautiful churches including a soaring cathedral.
In all, the Muslim gangs are accused of stealing more than $21,000 worth of goods....
