German police raid banned far-right group in 4 states

BERLIN (AP) - German police are conducting raids on sites linked to a far-right group after the country's top security official deemed it extremist.

Interior Minister Horst Seehofer banned the group Nordadler, which means '~Northern Eagle,' early Tuesday. His office said the police raids were carried out in four German states.

It said the group acted mainly online, spreading far-right extremist ideology and anti-Semitism.
