(Deutsche Welle) Germany has revised its terror threat levels at home and abroad following the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, the country’s Interior Ministry said, confirming an earlier report by a German newspaper.
Updated guidance was sent to police in Germany’s 16 states by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) on Friday so that they could take “appropriate security measures” in response to the developing security situation, the Sunday edition of Die Welt first reported.
The revision is particularly aimed at protecting US and Israeli-affiliated institutions within Germany.
Government security authorities in many German states are already on high alert.
