BERLIN: A German Islamist has threatened to
attack Berlin this summer and kill Chancellor
Angela Merkel in a video posted on the Internet, a
newspaper reported on Saturday. A spokesman for Germanys intelligence service,
the Office for the Protection of the Constitution,
confirmed its agents had seen such a video. This is an Islamist battle song. It is known to the
security services and is being evaluated, said the
spokesman. Die Welt newspaper reported that a three-minute
video had surfaced on the Internet with a
German Islamist calling himself Abu Azzam,
believed to be a radical Salafist who moved to
Egypt last year. Looking back at an Arab spring, we are looking
forward to a European summer, said Abu Azzam
in the video, according to the newspaper. Osama, wait for us... We want to see Obama and
Merkel dead, he was quoted as saying, adding
that Germanys Reichstag parliament building
would be subject to attacks like those on New
Yorks World Trade Center in 2001. German authorities have stepped up surveillance
of Salafist groups who espouse a radical version
of
Islam. Germany is home to roughly 4,000 Salafists, a
tiny proportion of the total Muslim population of
about four million. Germanys involvement in the NATO mission in
Afghanistan has led to fears of an attack on
German soil. Berlin is also supplying military
transport planes to fly West African troops to Mali
to help French and Malian forces fighting Islamist
rebels. reuters
