Austria faces 'heightened danger' of terror attack

The head of Austria’s federal anti-terrorism unit (BVT), Peter Gridling, says that Austria faces a heightened danger of a terrorist attack.

Speaking ahead of a major anti-terrorism exercise in Vienna this evening, he said: "we must not close our eyes and ignore the dangers”. According to the BVT the main danger comes from jihadists returning from conflict zones in the Middle East, or those who tried to leave Austria to fight with the Islamic State group and were prevented from doing so.

Fortunately, the Austrians don't seem quite as weak-willed as their bretheren, the Duetschlanders.

Hopefully, the far-right party will win there soon, and step up the fight for self-preservation.
