Six men were arrested in Germany Monday on suspicion of forming a far-Right terror cell and planning violent attacks on politicians and immigrants in order to overthrow the government.

The six men, who are all German nationals aged between 20 and 30, tried to obtain semi-automatic weapons and were planning to carry out a terror attack Wednesday, prosecutors said in a statement.

They were held in a series of early morning police raids in Chemnitz, the east German city that was the scene of neo-Nazi riots in August. A seventh suspect was arrested two weeks ago.

“According to investigations so far, the accused had a “revolutionary” aim based on their far-Right beliefs of overthrowing the democratic constitutional state,” prosecutors said.

The German press described the arrested men as planning a “far-Right revolution”. It is unclear how close they were to achieving their aims.

The seven suspects were planning violent attacks on politicians and prominent members of society as well as immigrants, according to prosecutors.

They formed an extremist group under the name “Revolution Chemnitz” no later than September 11, two weeks after the east German city was shaken by violent protests over the death of a man in a suspected stabbing by migrants.
