On Saturday, a 14-year-old died in an Islamic attack in Villach. Now it is discussed how the situation of the terrorist threat is topical. In short, terrorist warning level 4 has been in Austria since the autumn 2023, which is the second highest.
Recently, according to the Directorate State Protection and Intelligence Service (DSN), no concrete attack plans were known. However, increased vigilance is required during the ball season and at major events. According to the DSN director Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, the number of indangers is “in the higher double digit range”.
The violent extremists would become younger and younger. The youngest was only ten years old when the DSN became aware of him. Although the so -called focal mosque was recently considered where especially young boys had been radicalized, this process is now mainly on the internet. Salafist and jihadist influencers and preachers are becoming increasingly popular.
Radicals have “fascination for violence”
In addition to the ideology, according to the Constitutional Protection Report, “the fascination for violent content” in particular plays a role in radicalization. On mobile phones from IS supporters are almost always found in death and implementation videos, which they have received from like-minded people via social media or directly via a propaganda office. The same report 2023 also says that the suspect has “psychological abnormalities and diseases”.
Since the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023 and the collapse of the Syrian regime, the constitutional protectors have determined an increase in anti -Israeli and anti -semitic propaganda.
