BERLIN—The German government on Wednesday banned a Muslim organization that it accused of supporting “terrorism globally with its donations.”
Police raided buildings associated with Ansaar International in 10 German states, the German Interior Ministry said in a statement. The ministry alleged the money the organization collected ostensibly went into welfare projects as a ruse to help finance groups such as the Syrian al-Qaida affiliate known as the Nusra Front, the Palestinian group Hamas, and al-Shabab in Somalia.
