Four people have appeared in a German court accused of "forming a terrorist organization" and planning to attack a refugee shelter.
The three men and one woman were arrested last May in raids across Germany.
Prosecutors accuse them of creating a group that called itself "Oldschool Society" and planning to use improvised explosives packed with nails that could have caused deaths.

Germany has seen a sharp rise in far-right attacks against foreigners over the past year amid an unprecedented influx of migrants seeking refuge from war, persecution and poverty.
