VIENNA – Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz said his country is not only looking to combat terrorists, but also the ideology behind them, after the terror attack in Vienna Monday night.
At least four people were “killed in cold blood” and 22 were injured in an attack that took place in six locations across the Austrian capital.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack on Tuesday, calling the shooter “Abu Dujana Al-Albany” and claiming that he used two guns, including one machine gun, and a knife, in the assault, according to a statement posted on Telegram.
Authorities had earlier identified the attacker as Fejzulai Kujtim, a 20-year-old Austrian man from the town of St. Poelten, 33 miles west of Vienna.
Kujtim was sentenced to 22 months in prison on April 25, 2019 for attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer told state news agency APA.(CNN)
