NEWS Manfred Klink, BKA leader, claimed the number of extreme right sites has grown from 35 to 500 in the last three years and said it is a very worrying trend. Klink said the cooperation will be delicate as the US law does not have any sanctions against inciting race hatred. The BKA currently has 20 police officers that surf the net each day to monitor anti-Semitic and xenophobic content.
