"Shortly before Christmas there are indications of a possible attack plan by an Islamist group, including on Cologne Cathedral . The police speak of a 'danger warning' and the officers have initiated extensive protective measures at Cologne Cathedral. A church in Vienna was also a possible target, it was said on Saturday. According to information from the German Press Agency, the group may have links to the terrorist group Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISPK). If this is confirmed, it would not be their first attack plan in Germany. Terror expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) tells IPPEN.MEDIA : 'ISPK probably has Germany firmly in its sights.'"
Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
Fact:
On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
