"Terror intended by God"

Alarm about Hamas supporters – and again in Villach!

The Islamist knife attack in Villach, in which a 14-year-old boy was murdered, is still shaking the country - and now there is renewed excitement in Villach about a terror suspect: A man who has immigrated from Lebanon is not only said to glorify attacks as "God-ordained", but also to be part of Hamas!

Three weeks ago, Carinthia lost its innocence with the terrorist attack in the center of Villach - but did it really happen? Investigators confirm in background interviews that it was always a question of "when" and not "if". This is because two dozen Islamist terrorists are suspected in the province; several of them in Villach of all places. One of them has now also been charged.
