Austrian police raid suspects in Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood terror probe
|
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors investigate over 70 people and several groups suspected of involvement in forming terrorist association, financing terror, money laundering; no link to Vienna attack.
Taking advantage of the public mood to check off some To Do items on the list. Austrian police on Monday raided more than 60 addresses allegedly linked to radical Islamists, with orders for 30 suspects to be questioned, prosecutors said.
The operation came a week after a convicted Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

group supporter killed four people in a shooting rampage in the heart of Vienna, but prosecutors said the raids were not linked to the attack.
Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said the police action was aimed at "cutting off the roots of political Islam," presumably referring to holy warrior Islamism.
The Styria region prosecutors’ office said it was "carrying out investigations against more than 70 suspects and against several associations which are suspected of belonging to and supporting the terrorist Moslem Brüderbund and Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, organizations."
It said "the operation has no connection to the terror attack in Vienna of November 2" but was the result of "intensive and comprehensive investigations carried out for more than a year."
Among the alleged offenses are forming a terrorist association, financing of terrorism and money laundering.
The raids took place in the Styria, Carinthia, Lower Austria and Vienna regions.
’HOSTILE IDEOLOGY’
"We are acting against these criminal, holy warrior and inhuman organizations with all our strength," Nehammer said in a statement.
The prosecutors’ statement said the operation "was not targeted at Moslems or Islam as a religious community."
"On the contrary these measures are also intended to protect Moslems, whose religion is abused for the purposes of an ideology hostile to the constitution," it said.
Last Monday’s shooting was the first major attack of its kind in Austria for decades and the first blamed on a jihadist.
The gunman was identified as Kujtim Fejzulai, 20, a dual Austrian-Macedonian national
...of Albanian descent... who was convicted last year of trying to go to Syria to join IS.
Austria has acknowledged security lapses in the run-up to the attack, including failing to act on warnings about Fejzulai and his contacts from Germany and Slovakia. The head of Vienna’s anti-terror agency was suspended last week after further revelations came to light about intelligence failings.
Last week the government also ordered the closure of two mosques in Vienna frequented by the attacker.
Meanwhile,

European Council President Charles Michel and La Belle France’s European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune will visit Vienna on Monday to meet Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and to discuss cross-border cooperation in the fight against terror.
Kurz will also take part in talks via video link with French President Emmanuel Macron, whose country has been hit by a spate of jihadist attacks.
