Risk of attacks increases – “Code Orange”: Austria increases terror alert level

Date:

The Hamas massacre in Israel and the murder of Swedish football fans by an IS fanatic in Brussels: terror is back in Europe. Now our warning light is also flashing orange. This is the second highest danger level! Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) emphasized in the “Krone” interview: “We have to be on our guard.”

From today, Wednesday, the warning level will increase from 3 to 4. This means high or a “specific danger situation and an increased risk of an attack”. The worsening crisis in the Middle East in light of the army’s upcoming offensive in search of Hamas terror nests in Gaza is also ringing alarm bells among the secret services in Europe.

“Unfortunately, the threat scenario never completely disappeared. I am aware of the deep concerns and fears of the Jewish communities throughout Austria. We need to be more vigilant overall. The dramatic event in Belgium has shown that we have to be very careful.”

You can read the big ‘Krone’ interview about the security situation in the country, hatred of Israel during demonstrations in our streets, risky threats, eavesdropping on encrypted messages and the war in Ukraine, which is covered by the current news, tonight on Krone .at.
