Austria faced a hybrid attack of several “heavily armed and dangerous” terrorists. Chancellor Sebastian Kurz described this attack as a “repulsive terrorist attack”. Austrian police said that Vienna attack involved six crime scenes. Several gunmen have opened fire in six different locations in central Vienna. The shootings took place hours before the Vienna lockdown, near the central synagogue but it is not yet clear if that was the target.

“We have brought several special forces units together that are now searching for the presumed terrorists. I am therefore not limiting it to an area of Vienna because these are mobile perpetrators,” Minister Karl Nehammer told broadcaster ORF.

At the moment I can confirm we believe this is an apparent terror attack.

Last week there was an Islamist terrorist attack in Nice. The teacher Samuel Paty had previously been brutally beheaded near Paris. Sebastian Kurz last week vowed to fight “political Islam” after dozens of Turkish youths stormed a Vienna church. Also the Turkish President Erdogan is in war of words with President Macron, who had declared war on Islamism.

António Guterres, has wrote on twitter “solidarity with the people & government of Austria.”

I’m following with grave concern the violent attacks of terror in Vienna, one of our UN HQ.

I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms and reaffirm the @UN's solidarity with the people & Government of Austria. https://t.co/WQfbKhsMg6

Emmanuel Macron in war of words with Erdogan

Macron, has been in a war of words with Turkish President Tayyep Erdogan for months over issues ranging from Syria to Libya and the Eastern Mediterranean. He has said Ankara is acting in a “warlike” manner.

President Erdogan has said: Macron needs mental checks!

Freedom of expression in European way of life faces terror

Is Europe facing an asymmetrical, hybrid threat due to Turkish provocations?

Is Turkey’s plan to flood Europe with millions of refugees a real and dangerous threat?

France ‘will not give into terrorism’ says Macron.
