A vast majority of Germans believe terrorism will soon strike Germany, with 77 percent fearing an attack will take place in the near future, according to a new survey.
 
That figure has shot up from 69 percent just two weeks ago, although that isn't a huge surprise, given that the intervening weeks have seen not only a huge attack in Nice, France, on the country's national day, but also Monday night's attack on a train in Bavaria which left four people seriously injured. Both attacks were claimed by the terror group Isis.

However, while it has emerged that the Nice attacker had apparently been planning the carnage for months with accomplices, the 17-year-old responsible for the attack in Würzburg does not seem to have had any direct contact with Isis members and his social media showed no clues of Islamist leanings until 24 hours before the attack.

I'll bet Merkel appreciated the "future" aspect.  This gives her time to spin the terror attack by blaming the U.S. or global warming and warning against "islamophobia.

Looks like the future started this week.
