More than 100 German police officers stormed the Munich offices of the US-based Church of Scientology. Police were after evidence for several investigations: last year's death of a businessman who allegedly received medical advice from Scientology members, three cases of suspected arson, and the reported distribution of so-called insulting material. A Scientology spokesman said the raids were "absurd" and directed at individual members of the group rather than the organization itself.
