(National-UAE) Austria’s interior minister is calling for the security services to be given access to suspects’ messenger apps in an attempt to thwart terrorist attacks.
[This] comes after five people from Tajikistan were arrested in Austria and Germany with European nations on high alert over threats of a New Year’s Eve terrorist attack.
Gerhard Karner said the number of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim incidents has increased since the Gaza conflict began.
He told local media that to be able to combat the terrorist threat, the executive branch of the security services needed access to messenger services.
