Red alert in the Vienna city area: Because of Islamist threats of attacks against several churches, a large contingent of police and special forces is on the way. For tactical reasons, the police have not yet given any more specific details. eXXpressTV is live on the scene for you.
According to the Vienna police, indications of an Islamist-motivated attack had been reported. Several places of worship in the city were named as targets. The alarm was sounded based on a threat assessment by the DSN and several provincial counter-terrorism offices. All neuralgic points in the city area were manned with reinforced police units. The Cobra and WEGA special units are on site, and officers with assault rifles are standing at intersections. How long the operation will last could not yet be estimated in the morning.
The Viennese immediately felt horribly reminded of the devastating terrorist attack of November 2, 2020, when an assassin shot four passers-by in the city centre before being killed himself by the police. Then too, the City resembled a fortress with heavily armed police forces. The operation itself in the so-called “Bermuda Triangle”, a party mile, had lasted only about 20 minutes.
