BERLIN. [Junge Freiheit] The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has warned against attacks by Islamists on trains. Attack plans on trains are to play an increasingly important role, said a BKA spokesman of the Funke media group.

An Islamist magazine has called for attacks on trains by sabotaging railroad rails. "Even if there is no specific Germany coverage in the magazine, attacks of this kind are also conceivable in the Federal Republic of Germany

In the current issue of "Inspire", an English-language magazine for which the terrorist organization "Al-Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula" is responsible,  they have published detailed instructions for the construction of a "derailment too." This is an "efficient weapon". It is "easy to produce," the executing terrorist does not die of martyrdom and traces could be "simply erased after the operation."

Three types of traffic on the railway

There are three ways to use trains as effective targets. "First, attack the wagon directly, from the inside or from the outside. Second, damage the rails at the destination to derail the train. Thirdly: attack the stations because there are always groups of people there and it can disable the traffic system."

The authors advocated a derailment as "a major influence on the economy." In addition, "the enemy is confused and disoriented by this new type of attack." The security authorities would also be "concerned about how to find a solution to this problem."

The terrorists, among other things, advertise the largest train accidents in the United States with hundreds of deaths. On a map, all the major railway lines of the country are sorted by company.(Ls)
