(Deutsche Welle) Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the [Constitution] (BfV) on Wednesday said the danger of an Islamist terror attack on German soil had significantly increased.
The agency said the raised risk of attacks against the Jewish community or “the West as a whole” came in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attacks and Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip.
What the report said
In the BfV threat assessment, agency leader Thomas Haldenwang said the threat of an Islamist attack had long loomed over Germany.
“I have repeatedly emphasized that an Islamist attack can be carried out in Germany any day,” he said.
