Germany: Trial Begins for Right-Wing Group Who Attacked Refugee Homes
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Dresden, Germany, a trial has begun for eight people accused of
forming a right-wing terrorist group to carry out attacks on refugee
homes. Prosecutors say the group carried out at least five attacks,
including two on refugees' homes. A recent report by Germany's Interior
Ministry says refugees and migrants in Germany faced more than 3,500
attacks last year, which injured more than 500 people, including
children.
