German minister warns Paris attacks ‘probably not the last’

The jihadist attacks in Paris may be part of a wider series of strikes the Islamic State group plans in Europe, Germany’s interior minister warns Wednesday.

“From everything we know so far, Paris was the result of — or part of — a coordinated series of attacks by the so-called Islamic State,” says Thomas de Maiziere at a police conference in the western city of Mainz.

“If this were confirmed, this would be first IS attack in Western Europe, but probably not the last,” he says, adding that last Friday’s attacks revealed “well-trained perpetrators and lengthy, highly conspiratorial planning.”
