German minister wants ankle against terror

berlin - German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière wants people who may wish to carry out an attack, an anklet to be able to do. He has since Wednesday asked for cooperation from the states.

The electronic anklets are not the whole solution, but an important tool to facilitate the monitoring of dangerous persons, according to the Minister. De Maizière is adapting to the federal law for this, but the monitoring with electronic ankle bracelets is still primarily a matter for the federal states.

The minister anklet not only as means for the execution of a sentence, but also as a method to prevent attacks. The band should be able to be made of the only 'Gefährder. That's according to De Maizière 'people who are able to commit consider an attack the security forces. '

The attempt of the Maizière and his colleague of Justice, Heiko Maas, to put the ankle monitoring is part of a series of proposed new measures against terrorism.
