Austrian security authorities had already raised the terror alert to the second highest level in October, and now, on the Saturday before Christmas, arrests were made as Islamists allegedly planned attacks on churches. St. Stephen’s Cathedral in particular is at risk. Krone+ looked at what the individual terror alert levels mean, how the protection of places of worship is now being strengthened and how you are personally affected.
The war in Ukraine, the bloody battles in Azerbaijan and Armenia and then the major conflict in the Middle East: in recent months, armed conflicts have come closer to Austria. However, the great danger in Austria does not arise from the direct consequences of war. The risk of attacks by radicalized lone perpetrators is of much greater concern to security authorities – as is the case during the Christmas period.
