The Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) has no indications of concrete plans for an attack in Switzerland. However, the FIS still considers the terror threat in Switzerland to be elevated, as it announced in response to an inquiry from the Keystone-SDA news agency.
Against the backdrop of possible attack plans, the German authorities have stepped up security measures around Cologne Cathedral. Tighter security measures are also in place in Vienna on Christmas Eve.
According to the FIS on Sunday, Switzerland's assessment of the terror threat has not changed. According to the FIS, Switzerland is part of the Western world, which jihadists consider to be hostile to Islam, and is therefore a legitimate target for terrorist attacks from their point of view.
According to the FIS, however, other states are more exposed, especially those that are militarily involved in international coalitions against the "Islamic State" or are perceived as particularly Islamophobic by jihadist-inspired individuals.
