  "account": "Three men have been apprehended in Hagen and Unna, with new details emerging that suggest a potential ideological link to the Islamic State terror group. Security sources indicate the men, a German man who had converted to Islam at 33 and two Syrians aged 20 and 24, had been under surveillance since early in the year as they became increasingly radicalized. They reportedly exchanged ideas about carrying out attacks among themselves. When the plans became more concrete, the Constitution Protection Service informed a so-called case conference of its findings and the police planned a preventive intervention, according to reports. The Special Operations Command took the men into custody on Thursday evening. In North Rhine-Westphalia, police can hold a person in preventive detention for up to 14 days in a terrorism-related case if a judge authorizes it, though the detention must be lifted if the suspicion does not deepen. North Rhine-Westphalia's Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) stated on Friday that the state's security architecture demonstrated its effectiveness when all components work together. He added, \"These individuals have lost their ambitions for attacks and believed they could remain unseen, but our Constitution Protection Service sees more than they realize, and our police act before they can.\"",
