The Islamic State is calling for Muslims in Germany to launch suicide attacks on Chancellor Angela Merkel, as well as the Cologne-Bonn airport.
Europe is already tense over the Brussels suicide attacks, which have killed at least 32 people and injured over 300 others, and these new threats only stand to make the security situation far more precarious, Reuters reports.
The images command Muslims to commit attacks against Germany, the “enemy of Allah.”
According to other images, part of the motivation cited for launching additional attacks in Europe is the mound of Islamic State bodies that keeping piling up in Iraq and Syria, due to western airstrikes. According to BKA, German federal police, the circulated images are unlikely to boost already-high levels of security, given how depressingly common an occurrence threats like these are in the country.
