In a special interview with the Yisrael Hayom newspaper, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz referred to the attack in Vienna and said: "It isn't ruled out that the incident was against an anti-Semitic background."
He said, "The terror attack in Vienna, which is clearly an Islamist terror attack, is not an isolated incident but part of a system of numerous attacks against Europe. It is an attack on our democracy, our basic values, the European model of life. We will conduct a manhunt for everyone who gave their hand in this attack and we will prosecute them."
