BfV President Hans-Georg Maaßen. The head of Germany's domestic security agency, the BfV, said on Wednesday that Germany has become a priority target for terror group Isis over the past year. “Germany became significantly more prioritized as a target of Isis over the course of 2016,” said BfV President Hans-Georg Maaßen, adding that the level of danger continues to be high. Two other high-profile attacks in southern Germany last summer resulted in the perpetrators being killed, and dozens of people being injured. Maaßen further said that the number of people believed to be potentially violent Islamists in the country has steadily risen.
