The more complete quote, as I would translate it after seeing it in many articles, would be more like:
"Germany is no longer a safe zone, or a planning zone, it has become a target zone".
As a background, after Hamburg shut down the Army Hospital, they were criticized by the SPD/Greens for releasing details of intelligence information to the public.
Hamburg got cover from security experts and the opposition, and a peeing contest ensued, in which, Hamburg called the main complainer, Otto Schily, the Secretary of the Interior, incompetent.
Hamburg got names and times from our CIA, and acted on it, big time. Blocks cordoned off, huge rubbish container blocking streets and officers patrolling with cocked machine guns.
Rhein Main Air Base had also been threatened, as were the atomic plants, but were handled more discretely.
Bottom line, AFIAC, is that the Germans are coming face-to-face with the fact that the Islamics will blow them up, too. I don't think Schroeder's government would survive the aftermath of an Islamic-based attack in Germany.
