(DPA) The threat of Islamist terrorist attacks in Germany is currently significantly higher compared to previous years, partially due to the Gaza war, according to Germany’s domestic intelligence agency.
“The risk of jihadist attacks is higher than it has been for a long time,” the head of the domestic intelligence services, Thomas Haldenwang, told dpa.
Haldenwang stated that the risk of attacks has increased due to several factors. He highlighted the threat posed by radicalized individuals.
Additionally, he mentioned the influence of the Islamist Taliban takeover in Afghanistan as well as the strengthening of Islamic State offshoot Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
