( dpa ) - A top German state official, Bavaria’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, warned Friday of an increased danger of terrorist attacks in Europe.
“The al-Qaeda messages of recent weeks speak a clear language,” the minister told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa at the end of a visit in the United States.
Hermann met with US security officials to work out agreements on improved exchange of information. As home to the largest footprint of US military in Germany, Bavaria has a particularly large number of targets at risk, he said.
Hermann met with officials of the national police force, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); the CIA; the US State Department; and the Pentagon.
It became clear during the meetings, Hermann said, that the risks of attacks in Europe are currently higher than in the US.
“One must simply assume that there’s a whole group of people in Europe who are prepared to carry out attacks,” he said. . .
Thanks Joe. I hope Germany and all of Europe can thwart any pending attacks.
