Pistols and rifles: asylum seekers are armed
Security alert over imported crime: pistols, rifles, brass knuckles, lethal weapons, or ammunition—more than 1,000 "foreign suspects" were reported in our country for possession of prohibited weapons in one year. Syrians are at the top of the list. The "Krone" newspaper has the explosive figures.
