Bloody terrorist attack in Villach: 14-year-old dies at a knife attack!
On Saturday afternoon, an unprecedented knife attack occurred in Villach, which shook the region. A 23-year-old Syrian citizen stabbed passers-by in front of the main square and left a tragic balance: a 14-year-old lost his life, while three other people were seriously injured and are in intensive care treatment. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) described the incident as a clear Islamist attack, which has a reference to the terrorist group "Islamic State" (IS). According to the investigation, the perpetrator had experienced his radicalization about social media such as TikTok and became known to radical ideologies.
The interior minister commented on the events with great anger and grief. Karner said: "It hurts infinitely to have to stand here and have to say that a 14-year-old was murdered." In this context, he announced that he would carry out "occasional mass reviews", in particular for certain target groups such as those entitled to asylum with Syrian and Afghan's background, such as
As a result of these events, a security summit is also called to discuss the security situation in Carinthia. Karner announced that legal framework conditions for such mass checks have to be revised in order to provide the security authorities the necessary funds to ensure public security. These events throw a shadow on society and the political debate about Integration and security is now fueled again and will remain a central topic in the coming days and weeks.
