MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Some 50 rejected asylum seekers are among those who the police believe to be posing a threat to public order, Der Spiegel magazine said Friday, adding that a total of 548 people are on the list of dangerous Islamists.

In early December, German media reported that the number of radical Islamists in German prisons had increased by 30 percent this year, surpassing 150.
