"Shortly before Christmas there are indications of a possible attack plan by an Islamist group, including on Cologne Cathedral . The police speak of a 'danger warning' and the officers have initiated extensive protective measures at Cologne Cathedral. A church in Vienna was also a possible target, it was said on Saturday. According to information from the German Press Agency, the group may have links to the terrorist group Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISPK). If this is confirmed, it would not be their first attack plan in Germany. Terror expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) tells IPPEN.MEDIA : 'ISPK probably has Germany firmly in its sights.'"
"'These arrests demonstrate once again that ISIS remains a serious threat to the West,' Counter Extremism Project chief executive Ambassador Mark Wallace said."

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
In Their Own Words:
We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].

I am terribly sad. Throughout my professional and personal life, whenever I was unsure of what to say or think, my friend, the Senator, was always there. He had a unique gift for finding the right words to match any feeling or emotion, often with humor, a smile, and laughter. Now, as I write this without his guidance and kind wisdom, I feel his absence deeply. Having the Senator by my side was one of life's greatest gifts to me, and I know I'm not alone in feeling profoundly touched by him. That was the Senator's great gift—he touched and guided so many of us, either personally or through his example. --Ambassador Mark D. Wallace
