Austria: Afghan threatens Austrian Chancellor to death, arrested

I'll cut your head off. Change, or I'll come and kill you in Parliament!

An Afghan national, days ago, threatened Austrian Chancellor Carl Nehammer with death. The 28-year-old who had emigrated to Austria in 2015 had written a threatening English message to the Austrian Chancellor, reports “rone.at”. He writes: ““I'll cut your head off. Change, or I'll come and kill you in Parliament! Chancellor Nehammer's cabinet reported the threatening message to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, broadcasts albinfo.at.

The suspect was later found and arrested at Telfs in Tirol. According to the investigation, the migraine claimed to be Christian, though it had a radical Islamist outlook.

The suspect was initially arrested for violent crimes. Later, he has been investigated by the Office for Protection of the Constitution in close co-operation with regional police units and sent to custody because of his threat to the Chancellor. His statement that the devil had written the message was not convincing to the investigator.

Hard Interior Minister

As Austrian media write, his demand for asylum was initially rejected. However, along with a lawyer, he successfully appealed the decision, and eventually he won the asylum statistical.

Interior Minister Gerhard Carrer for the Austrian newspaper “heute.at” stressed: “We will not tolerate Islamic activity or death threats”. “Islamic extremists will be treated uncompetitively and with the sheer severity of rule of law”, conveys albinfo.a

Radical Islam has returned to the focus of the security authorities in Austria, as three suspected ISI supporters, the top suspect of Albanian descent, attempted to conduct an attack at an Taylor Swift concert in Vienna a few days ago. Thanks to advice from American intelligence circuits, the worst was prevented.
