STORYLINE:

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has ordered the reinstatement of passport checks at all land borders to curb the number of people entering the country without visas, dpa reported on Monday, citing government sources.

The move aims to curb irregular migration and address threats related to Islamist terrorism and cross-border organized crime, the sources told dpa.

Germany had previously implemented border controls with Poland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic last year to stem the flow of irregular migrants.

The decision follows a series of violent crimes in Germany, including a stabbing attack last month in the western city of Solingen that left three people dead. The suspect in that incident is a migrant from Syria.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described the incident as "an act of terror against us all." In response to the attack, the German government pledged to intensify its efforts to combat illegal immigration and terrorism.
