Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz told Die Welt in an interview published in Vienna on Tuesday. The Chancellor called for stronger action by the European Union against political Islam because it threatens freedom and the European way of life.

Austria has strict laws. “At the same time, this murder in the heart of our capital shows that we must be vigilant and determined,” he said.

Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said on Tuesday night that fourteen suspects arrested in connection with the terror attack had been taken into custody. Preliminary investigations have shown that they have actively participated in the preparations for the terrorist attack, as reported by Franz Ruf, Director General of Public Security.

Meanwhile, North Macedonia police reported that three people involved in the terror attack had dual Austrian and North Macedonia nationality, but all three were born in Austria.

In connection with the murder in Vienna, two Swiss nationals were also arrested in Winterthur on Tuesday afternoon. Authorities said they may have been in contact with the attacker.

Karl Nehammer spoke at a press conference during the day that ammunition and other evidence had been seized from the perpetrator’s apartment, which has yet to be assessed, but there are already clear indications that he was close to the Islamic State, as mentioned by the man in a Facebook post. .

The Austrian government will discuss the terrorist attack in a virtual meeting on Wednesday, in which Nehammer will give an assessment of the situation.

The lower house of the Austrian parliament (Nationalrat) will meet on Thursday and its agenda will include a government statement on the terrorist attack in Vienna, announced President Wolfgang Sobotka.

And the Austrian Education Ministry said regular classroom instruction would resume in Vienna from Wednesday after authorities decided Tuesday that the killing would not make it compulsory for students to go to school. In Austria, they are returning to distance education these days due to the coronavirus epidemic.
