Germany must brace for more attacks by radicalised Muslims, warns intelligence chief as report finds the country is home to 24,400 Islamists

Germany should brace for further attacks given growing numbers of potential Islamist militants, top security officials warned on Tuesday as they vowed to step up efforts to prosecute, convict and deport suspects.

The country is still home to 24,400 Islamists, according to a report from Germany's BfV domestic intelligence agency.  

Germany was hit by five Islamist attacks in 2016, including a December attack on a Berlin Christmas market that killed 12 people.
