Frankfurt's Anis Ben-Hatira smiles after a German first division soccer match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Mainz 05 in Frankfurt, Germany on April 24, 2016. “I was their role model for Muslim integration,” said Änis Ben-Hatira, 28, who, until last month, was signed to the German pro team Darmstadt. He signed with Darmstadt last year, as the team propelled itself to the top levels of professional soccer — the German Bundesliga. Senior German intelligence officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified information say they have no evidence that Ansaar has ever promoted violence. Gaziantepspor’s management suggested this might be a golden opportunity to score a talented player and support a fellow Muslim.
