The men were identified only as Mahir al-H., 17, Ibrahim M., 18, and Mohamed A., 26, in a statement issued by federal prosecutors. They left Syria last October and travelled via Turkey and Greece - a route used by tens of thousands of refugees and migrants - and arrived in Germany in mid-November. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the three apparently used the same migrant trafficking network as several of the Isis gunmen who killed 130 people in Paris in November last year. The men had received mobile phones and four-figure cash sums in US dollars, as well as the fake passports, from Isis, the statement said. In July, Germany suffered two bloody attacks claimed by Isis, which were carried out by migrants.
