Shops remain open – wall scribbles announce attack in Donauzentrum

Date:

There is a terrorist threat against the Donauzentrum in Vienna-Donaustadt. A wall graffiti written in poor German announced an attack for Tuesday evening, the wording suggesting an Islamic background. “It is important to note that the matter is being taken very seriously, but there should be no panic,” police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger told the “Krone”.

The photo sent to the “Krone” showed numerous insults and the threat of terrorism. “Islam will win,” was written on the wall. “We take the threat seriously, the State Office for State Security and Combating Extremism (LSE) is investigating,” police said when asked on Tuesday. The operating company of the ‘Westfield Donauzentrum’ informed employees about the threat situation in two letters on Monday.

The shopping center still remains open
On the one hand, it was emphasized that the shopping center would remain open on Tuesday and on the other hand, that there was initially no cause for concern for the employees because they strictly adhered to the instructions of the police. Nevertheless, Haßlinger emphasizes: “The situation is of course continuously assessed in close cooperation with the LSE and further measures may be taken if there is a specific risk situation.”
