German cops roll up 19 suspected ISIS douchebags. The article I cite has 16 arrested, but I'm hearing the higher number elsewhere. How many of us have been to or passed through Frankfurt and some of the other locations mentioned?

Police launch major terror raids across central Germany
Police in Hesse raided over 50 properties early on Wednesday morning and arrested one suspect over an alleged plan to carry out a terror attack.
As well as searching addresses in Frankfurt, police carried out dawn raids in Offenbach, Darmstadt and the state capital, Wiesbaden. The raids were conducted on apartments, commercial properties and mosques.
Sixteen males between the ages of 16 and 46 are suspects in the investigation and searches involving more than 1,100 officers.
The main suspect, a 36-year-old Tunisian, is accused of recruiting for Isis in Germany and of planning to carry out a terror attack. Police say he was in the process of building up a terror network with the aim of carrying out an attack. The 36-year-old was the only person taken into custody.
A spokesperson for police in Hesse said that the group had not yet chosen a target for their attack and that the plans were in the early stages.
"With this operation, we are sending a clear message to radical Islamists in Hesse: We have the scene firmly within our sights," said Hesse interior minister Peter Beuth.
Frankfurt prosecutors are set to give more details about the investigation at 10am.
Berlin police arrest three suspected jihadists
Police in Berlin said they arrested three people on Tuesday suspected of trying to reach foreign "war zones" in order to train to carry out an attack.
The suspects may be linked to Isis and had "planned to travel to war zones," likely Syria or Iraq, a Berlin police spokesman told AFP.
Police also carried out searches, but there has been "no indication of concrete plans to carry out an attack in Germany", according to the Bild daily's website.
The suspects, whose gender was not immediately given, were aged 21, 31 and 45, the spokesman said. He added that investigators suspect they were trying to reach a camp to train to launch an attack.
