Police in Austria and Germany have arrested several people suspected of preparing terrorist attacks during the Christmas worship services in churches in Cologne, Vienna and Madrid. It is reported that the Islamist group, which stands on these plans, may be in touch with the terrorist organization "Islamic State of Chorasan".
According to the German media, DPA and Bild, a terrorist group that planned terrorist attacks may have close ties with the "Islamic State of Chorasan", which is related to "Taliban". The police do not comment on the details of the operation, but notes that arrests of persons who were considered potential customers of attacks were made.
It should be noted that Vienna's police have already warned the public about "increased risk" during the Christmas holidays, especially in the context of terrorists' calls to attack Christian events. Measures to strengthen safety in public places of Vienna and federal lands during this period were carried out.
