"Germany is still in shock after the terror attack in Solingen, days before important state elections. How can we stop terrorism? Is migration a threat? Our guests: Hans-Jakob Schindler (terrorism expert); Morten Freidel (NZZ); Amir Musawy (freelance journalist)"

“... The video is still being reviewed, says Hans-Jakob Schindler, Counter Extremism Project expert and former UN Security Council adviser on global terrorism sanctions. But it is obvious that the attack followed the IS script: "With such attacks, which are difficult to detect in advance, IS is showing that it is still important." In 2017, IS lost its state base in Syria and Iraq, said Schindler. But the group is now on the rise again, for example in Afghanistan and West Africa. The West has withdrawn from the core areas of IS terrorists. "Because the pressure there has decreased, attacks in the West are becoming more likely again ." This raises the question of how terrorists are financed. Although an attack like the one in Solingen - which is presumably inspired by IS but carried out without personal instructions - costs the group nothing, says Schindler. But in Syria, IS is again carrying out more and more bomb attacks.”

"Terror expert H.-J. Schindler believes that it has been overlooked that internal security is primarily threatened on the Internet."

“Three people were killed in the attack in Solingen, Germany, claimed by IS on Friday evening. “There is definitely danger in the Netherlands,” said German terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler. #Newshour”

"A video has also surfaced showing a masked man claiming allegiance to IS. It is possible that this is the 26-year-old Syrian who is said to have carried out the attack in Solingen. However, there is much to suggest that he was not directly controlled by IS. "My theory is that he radicalised himself and had little to no direct connection to IS beforehand. He only sent the video to the terrorist organisation shortly before the attack," says terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project in an interview with this editorial team."

“'Terrorist organisations are being given more breathing space because since 2019 we've reduced our military engagement in these areas.' Counter terrorism expert, Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler, shares his analysis of recent terror attacks and attempts.”

“The extremist group ISIS was defeated in Syria and Iraq about five years ago. But those who follow the group and its activities closely say it is once again gaining momentum, reports The World’s Shirin Jaafari.”

“Fearing terrorist attacks, the organizers have canceled the three upcoming concerts of US pop star Taylor Swift in Vienna. Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler says that we must not give in to the pressure of terrorists.”
