Austrian Police asked citizen for their
understanding of the need for more security controls. Vienna police said on
Saturday a "friendly" intelligence service had warned European
capitals of the possibility of a shooting or bomb attack before New Year,
prompting police across the continent to increase security measures. Extra
steps include surveillance in crowded spaces, "especially at events and
traffic hubs" as well as intensive identity checks and higher alertness
for objects which could carry explosives such as bags or "bicycle
frames", it said. Several possible names of potential attackers were
mentioned, which were checked, and the investigation based on (these checks)
has so far yielded no concrete results," Vienna police said in a
statement, some six weeks after 130 people were killed in Islamist bombing and
shooting attacks in Paris. Vienna police were not immediately available for
further comment. A spokesman for the German Interior Ministry said Germany is
still in the crosshairs of Jihadist terrorism," he said, adding the
country had reviewed and adapted its security measures, where necessary,
following the Paris attacks. it did not comment on particular situations for
operational reasons.
