Germany has banned a far-left internet portal accused of inciting violence and rallying activists who rioted during last month's G20 summit in Hamburg.

Police have seized computers and some weapons in raids on addresses of activists in the south-western Baden-Wuerttemberg region.

Dozens of anti-capitalist protesters clashed with police during the G20. In a tweet, the German interior ministry described the portal as "The central communications platform among far-left extremists prone to violence".

In Friday's police raids, German broadcaster ARD said, knives, batons, piping and slingshots were seized.

In Hamburg, nearly 200 police officers were injured in clashes with masked protesters in early July.

Under the slogan "Welcome to hell", protesters looted shops, torched cars and threw stones and petrol bombs at police, who tried to disperse them with water cannon and baton charges.
