Dramatic scenes during an attack by the Cobra anti-terrorist special unit in Tyrol. The mother of an IS fanatic of Turkish origin, who threatened to cut off the heads of police officers here, crashed her car into two elite police officers in Sellrain in the Innsbruck-Land district on Saturday. One officer was seriously injured and another slightly injured.
The tip had come from a foreign secret service to the domestic protection of the constitution. The investigations by the Directorate for Intelligence and State Security (DNS) started immediately. In fact, the 18-year-old terror suspect and self-confessed IS fan is said to have rolled out concrete plans for attacks on police stations in social forums. After an arrest order from the public prosecutor’s office, the Cobra intervened in Tyrol. Mother stepped on the gas When the suspect and his mother were surrounded in his car by the elite police officers heavily armed with assault rifles, the woman did not give up – but gas and drove two officers of the special unit down. Then the duo were overpowered and arrested. The investigations are in full swing. Interior Minister praises international cooperation Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) emphasized the cross-border cooperation in a broadcast. “The Austrian state security authorities are closely monitoring developments in the Islamist scene and are conducting structural investigations in close cooperation with European authorities.” The minister wished the injured Cobra officer a speedy recovery.
