The terrorist group Daesh has succeeded in infiltrating refugee reception centers and is using social media to coordinate its attacks, Germany’s domestic intelligence service warned on Wednesday.
Germany’s Salafist scene is increasing at an alarming rate and its intelligence services are struggling to prevent lone wolf terror attacks, according to a new report from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Germany’s domestic intelligence service.
Hans-Georg Maassen, president of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), said that Germany’s anti-terror operations are facing a new type of threat from terrorists who use the internet and social networks to communicate.
Maassen’s intelligence agency identified Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram as particularly popular tools of communication among terrorists, who use them to send personal and group messages with end-to-end encryption.
“Islamic terrorists are using the internet and social media to as a hybrid tool of warfare,” and these internet services “are the communications provider for the Islamic scene in Germany,” the intelligence chief said.
