After the cancellation of several concerts by US star Taylor Swift in Vienna, Interior Minister Faeser visited the German Office for the Protection of the Constitution. She warned that Germany, too, continues to be the focus of Islamists.
After the cancellation of three concerts by US pop star Taylor Swift, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser described the threat from Islamist terrorism in Germany as “persistently high”. This finding still applies, the SPD politician explained after a visit to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Cologne. She spoke of a “serious Islamist threat” that had been seen in Vienna.
“Our country is also the focus of jihadist organizations, especially IS and its currently most dangerous offshoot, ISPK. Islamist terrorist organizations, but also Islamist lone perpetrators who often radicalize largely on their own, are a constant threat,” emphasized Faeser. It is clear that we will not allow ourselves to be intimidated. “But we take threats very seriously.”
In Austria, suspected Islamist plans to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna were uncovered last week.
