Many questions about the attack in Moscow: Terror expert clarifies the situation with the IS branch. In general, Neumann sees Islamist terror on the rise again.
There have been more attempted terrorist attacks since October 7th alone than in the whole of 2022. “The biggest current terrorist threat in Germany, in Europe, is now again from the Islamist, jihadist side,” Neumann told the Deutschlandfunk. The ISPK is the same group that is said to have planned an attack on Cologne Cathedral in December 2023. The two suspected terrorists arrested in Gera are said to belong to the ISPK.
