German security authorities have claimed that members of the far-left Antifa movement are preparing attacks on police officers and political opponents, including potential assassinations.
The Antifa movement in Germany and its 50 supporting groups across the country are becoming increasingly more violent, according to a report from the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution seen by
Focus magazine. They are also believed to be plotting targetted attacks.
Authorities are also concerned over allegations that some German Antifa members have travelled to northern Syria to undertake combat training with the left-wing Kurdish militia, the YPG,
Focus reports. . .
. . . Earlier this year, Hamburg constitutional Judge Cornelia Ganten-Lange was
linked to both Antifa and the PKK, having given lectures at the Antifa “Rote Flora” squat on representing PKK terror group members.
In June in Austria, members of the Grey Wolves clashed with both Antifa and members of the PKK in Vienna in the heavily migrant-populated Favoriten district. . . .
. . . According to the Berlin Constitutional Protection Agency, Antifa has been
behind dozens of attacks in the German capital from
paint attacks on buildings to arson attacks. They have primarily targetted right-wing politicians and journalists.
Last year, Antifa
released an alleged “assassination guide” on the Indymedia web platform . . .
