Austrian police warned Wednesday of a possible 'Islamist-motivated attack' in Vienna against churches and other houses of worship, citing undisclosed information received by the country's intelligence service.
VIENNA -
"There is a non-specific threat of an assault against churches," Vienna police tweeted. "As precautionary measure ... points of interest have been put under increased guard by regular and special operation police forces." "Our precaution measures don't exclusively affect Christian churches, but also houses of worship of various confessions," police tweeted. They did not specify which other religious communities could be affected."Police officers are equipped with bulletproof helmets and vests and assault rifles. They will carry out surveillance activities and also carry out checks in road traffic," police spokesperson Markus Dittrich told local radio station Radio Wien.
