   Wien) Police in Austria carried out mass raids across the country targeting   
   primarily Mosques serving Balkan Muslims (Read that as former Yugoslavia) in a   
   bid to break the network of a preacher suspected of brainwashing teenagers to   
   fight for ISIS. 14    
   people have been arrested after the huge anti-terror raids which took place   
   across Graz and in the capital Vienna.   
      
   The raids focused on the network of Ebu Tejma a Muslim preacher from Bosnia   
   who was jailed for 20 years last July in Graz for recruiting young fighters to   
   the Islamic State group. Tejma is behind the "brainwashing" of dozens of   
   people aged between 14 and    
   30 and enlisted a number of them to fight for Isis in Syria. Tejma fled from   
   Bosnia to Vienna following the break-up of Yugoslavia and preached in various   
   Austrian and southern German cities, becoming a "key figure" in pushing Isis   
   propaganda, according    
   to the prosecution.   
      
   Around 300 people have either left or have been intercepted trying to leave   
   Austria to fight in Syria, according to the interior ministry. Around 40 have   
   died there while some 90 have come back.   
      
   The Police have stated that the raids were not connected to last week's   
   arrest of a suspected 17-year-old Islamist extremist in Vienna.
