GERMAN INTELLIGENCE SERVICE: ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS MAIN SECURITY THREAT
The Bundesverfassungsschutz (BVS), Germany's internal federal intelligence service has defined its new "main enemy". A press release distributed by the agency on 11 January says: "The islamic terrorists are now more dangerous for Germany than the Red Army Faction [RAF: former Baader-Meinhoff Group]". According to the service, the "particularly brutal Algerian Armed Islamic Group (GIA)" has set its sights on Germany.
In the opinion of BVS president Werthebach, the issue is about "the great confrontation between Christian-occidental culture and Islam".
