Politicians on online hit list
No mention here of who made the list or who is on it, but since it is coupled with the threats to Austria and Germany, it seems clearly jihad related. “List of politicians as possible attack targets surfaces in Austria,” from AP (thanks to Joel): Austrian authorities have found a list of politicians circulated online […]
