The move comes after a series of Islamic terror attacks in Germany by Muslim migrants. “Germany’s government announced plans to impose tighter controls at all of the country’s land borders in what it called an attempt to tackle irregular migration and protect the public from threats such as Islamist extremism,” Reuters reported. The news measure will last for six months and can be extended, German news reports suggest.
German police will resume passport controls at border crossings in the coming days. “The checks, which were announced on Monday, will be in force from Monday 16 September,” Euronews TV channel reported. “Germany shares land borders with Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland.”
