During interrogation, Ahmad M. now fantasizes that the Devil had written the evil death threats. Last week, the Afghan citizen sent Karl Nehammer (51, ÖVP) a wild, private Instagram message.

“Change or I will kill you in the Parliament. I will cut off your head,” wrote the migrant to the head of the Government. Nehammer’s team reported the content to the Agency for Protection of the Constitution [Federal Security Police]. The suspect was subsequently identified thanks to close collaboration with regional police units.

Arrest during a fight

As the result of a fight in Tirol, the police finally succeeded in arresting the Afghan in Telfs. Although he wrote to Nehammer on Instagram that he was Christian, the investigation brought to light a radical-Islamist worldview.

The Afghan’s asylum application, according to information made available to Heute, was originally denied by the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (BFA). However, together with a lawyer, Ahmad M. filed an appeal against the decision. Finally, the Federal Administration Court granted him asylum.

A proceeding into his protection status is now underway. Ahmad M. is presumed innocent.

Interior Minister: “No compromise with Islamist extremists”

“We tolerate no Islamist activity and death threats,” says Interior Minister Gerhard Karner. In addition, the Internet is not law-free space. Whoever does that, will be investigated by the Protection of the Constitution (Security Police) and brought to justice. Proceedings against Islamist extremism will be uncompromising and with the full force of the rule of law,” according to the ÖVP politician.

  1. I guess that most Austrians would’ve been thrilled if this guy would’ve gone through with it.
    It’d be the first time native Austrians would’ve applauded most likely a terror-attack.
    Let them reap what they’ve sown.

  2. When the ruling class is threatened, the power of the state is exercised. When the ruled class is attacked, the power of the state attacks the victims.
