An arrest warrant has been issued against the man… IS has been calling for attacks for months via its propaganda channels, with threats increasing particularly on a German-language IS website. Recently, the suspected IS attacker in Villach was celebrated there, and after the Islamist-motivated attack in Munich, there were calls to run people over with vehicles. Experts warn against spreading such propaganda without context.
