Officially, the exact numbers are kept secret - but as the "Krone" newspaper has learned, there are other potential Islamist "Gefährder" living in Carinthia. Who, unlike the Villach attacker, are also documented.

"A low, three-digit number" - this is the number of so-called Islamist" Gefährder" currently residing in Austria, as recently stated cryptically by the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence (DSN for short). In other words, people who are involved in Islamist extremism or terrorism and would potentially be prepared to use violence - or carry out attacks.
