(Deutsche Welle) German security officials on Monday said the threat of Islamist terrorism in the country remains high, with several groups seeking to radicalize recruits amid turmoil in the Middle East.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said German intelligence services were in “very good contact” with the security authorities in Austria, where a foiled terror plot led to the cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts.
What did the minister say?
Faeser spoke of a “serious Islamist threat” that had been seen in Vienna, where the music events had been due to take place.
“Our country is also the focus of jihadist organizations, especially IS and its currently most dangerous offshoot ISPK,” said the minister.
