"Germany is still in shock after the terror attack in Solingen, days before important state elections. How can we stop terrorism? Is migration a threat? Our guests: Hans-Jakob Schindler (terrorism expert); Morten Freidel (NZZ); Amir Musawy (freelance journalist)"

"Terror expert H.-J. Schindler believes that it has been overlooked that internal security is primarily threatened on the Internet."

“Three people were killed in the attack in Solingen, Germany, claimed by IS on Friday evening. “There is definitely danger in the Netherlands,” said German terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler. #Newshour”

"A video has also surfaced showing a masked man claiming allegiance to IS. It is possible that this is the 26-year-old Syrian who is said to have carried out the attack in Solingen. However, there is much to suggest that he was not directly controlled by IS. "My theory is that he radicalised himself and had little to no direct connection to IS beforehand. He only sent the video to the terrorist organisation shortly before the attack," says terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project in an interview with this editorial team."

“'Terrorist organisations are being given more breathing space because since 2019 we've reduced our military engagement in these areas.' Counter terrorism expert, Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler, shares his analysis of recent terror attacks and attempts.”

"'... Hans-Jakob Schindler, for example, a terrorism expert from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), sees three groups as possible suspects: Russian or Russian-backed actors, radical Islamists or left-wing extremists. He considers one suspicion to be particularly likely: 'The first thing I would check is whether it was a Russian or Russian-backed attack attempt or whether it was at least Russian-initiated,' said Schindler in an interview with IPPEN.MEDIA. There is much to support this theory. Germany has been the focus of Russian attackers since 2022 at the latest, if not since the Minsk Agreement in 2015. And the NATO base in Geilenkirchen in particular plays a special role in the context of the Ukraine war: AWACS aircraft are stationed there, which can be used to observe movements on NATO's eastern flank.'"

"The war in Ukraine is not going according to Russia's interests , and Putin's regime is becoming increasingly desperate. Just think of the suspected Russian murder plot against Rheinmetall boss Armin Papperger that was recently uncovered. […] Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler , 51, is Senior Director at the Counter Extremism Project (CEP). This non-partisan, international organization aims to counter extremist ideologies and strengthen pluralist-democratic forces."
