Germany is taking seriously a new threat against the country contained in an Islamist video, German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Tuesday.
According to German news agency, the video was previously sent to the Austrian broadcasting corporation ORF, which planned to air it Tuesday evening.
In the video, an unknown group calling itself the Global Islamic Media Front indirectly threatened attacks in Germany and Austria if the two states do not pull their troops from Afghanistan.
It also demanded that Austria release two Islamists held in detention there.
Schaeuble said although Germany was taking the threat seriously, it did not require a reappraisal by Berlin of the general security situation in the country.
