Vienna: ISIS member one of the perpetrators of the bloody attack (video)

Two men and a woman were the victims of the attack

Vienna: A member of ISIS, one of the perpetrators of the bloody attack

According to a police spokesman, the perpetrator's house has been searched without, however, giving any further information about any findings.

At the same time in the press conference it was announced that three citizens lost their lives from the attack - two men and a woman. It is recalled that one of the perpetrators was killed by police fire, while at least 15 people were injured, seven of them in serious condition.

What concerns the Austrian authorities is that it has not yet been clarified whether these are one or more perpetrators. "It is difficult to say for sure if it was one or more. "At the moment there is no clear answer," said a police spokesman who attended the morning press conference.

According to Mr. Nehamer, the terrorist who was neutralized "was heavily armed and also had a belt with explosives", which, as clarified by the police, was fake.

According to the Vienna police, these are what were officially announced for the attack:

The attack took place shortly after 8 pm on Monday (21:00 Greek time) with the perpetrator, according to the Austrian Interior Minister, falling dead from police fire nine minutes later.

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz spoke of a "professionally organized terrorist attack" as it took place last night before Vienna went into a lockdown and the streets in the area where it unfolded - the so-called "Bermuda Triangle" with bars and restaurants - were full of people.

"They fired at least 100 times," said Rabbi Slomo Hoffmeister, who saw the perpetrator open fire from a window above the Vienna synagogue as the attack began outside the building.

Police sources, citing Austrian media, reported that the terrorist attack took place in six places a short distance from each other.

Vienna is the latest victim of Islamist terrorism

Vienna, a hub between Central and Eastern Europe, is the latest victim of Islamic terrorism, which is casting a heavy shadow over the Old Continent. He recalls that the West rushed to celebrate the defeat of the Islamic State.

His defeat as a state with domination over Iraqi and Syrian territory does not constitute a complete defeat. The problem is not the specific organization either. The problem is Islamic terrorism, in whatever form it takes. This is what destabilizes the daily life of Europeans throughout almost the entire Old Continent, since the common man feels that he can be the next victim if he is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It is deeply nightmarish for anyone to believe that the penetration of Islamic fundamentalism into Muslim communities is only a French problem, or even worse, that it was born as a reaction to Emanuel Macron's action against extremist Islam. France, meanwhile, had repeatedly bled before Macron decided to post posters with Charlie Hebdo sketches in public buildings.

Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (Aqmi) has not limited itself to threatening the French president. She called on her supporters to kill anyone who insulted the Prophet Muhammad. "Killing anyone who insults the Prophet is the right of every Muslim capable of doing so," she said in a statement.

In fact, the call is to kill anyone Western they can and not anyone who offends Muhammad. This is evidenced by the fact that the attacks of Islamic terrorism are blind. For them, every Westerner is not just an "infidel", he is also an enemy who needs death. Only the metaphysical religious background can inspire such hatred, such contempt for human life.

It is striking that third-generation Muslim immigrants born and raised in European countries are turned into jihadists and sometimes slaughterers. Many of them went to Iraq and Syria to fight along the lines of Islamic State and Al Qaeda. And now gunpowder-smoked and war-torn people are returning to Europe. Others stayed in Europe, but were inspired by preaching on the Internet and turned into "lone wolves". Finally, there are recent migrants who have flooded Europe, such as the young Chechen beheader and before him a young Pakistani.

In other words, the threat that instills fear in ordinary European citizens is everywhere. No one can know if the Muslim next door, or the one he meets on the street, is a peaceful believer, or a potential terrorist. The facts prove that anyone can become a target. He does not need to have done anything. As long as it is Western. It does not matter if it is a synagogue or a church, or just an airport or a cafe, or a stadium, or a concert hall.

Through Twitter, the French president sent a message of support to the Austrian people for the terrorist attack in Vienna. "All our support for the Austrian people facing a large-scale terrorist attack in Vienna, near a synagogue," said Marie Lapen.

The latest attack reminds Europe that a hybrid war is being waged on its territory. And, in fact, a very difficult war. The enemy is internal, but it is more hostile than the most hostile in the traditional sense of the word. It moves comfortably, as it does not need coordination centers. It is now clear that all European countries are potential targets, at the mercy of a larger or smaller terrorist attack. This in itself should have long ago pushed the EU to see the problem not as French or Austrian, but as European, and to put aside the paralysis caused by the dictatorship of "political correctness".
