In plain language: the BKA (*
Federal Criminal Police Office) is not aware of any concrete preparations for attacks on Christmas markets . But there are calls for such acts from the " Islamic State - Khorasan Province (ISPK)". According to security experts, its messages are likely to "further radicalize a corresponding potential group of people and motivate them to carry out attacks".
The risk analysis continues: “Events marking Christmas are generally an ideologically suitable target for Islamist-motivated perpetrators due to their symbolism of Christian values and character.” Particularly targeted are church events and institutions as well as Christmas services.
BKA: Pedestrian zones also “potential targets”
