A heroic Syrian food delivery driver who managed to halt a vicious Islamist killer earlier this week is fearing for his life after receiving a host of death threats online.
On Saturday 15 February, a 23-year-old Syrian man named locally as Ahmad G yelled ‘Allahu Akbar’ before launching a heartless and brutal attack in the Austrian town of Villach.
The killer proceeded to fatally stab a helpless 14-year-old boy, leaving five other men and boys suffering from knife wounds until the bloodshed was stopped by one brave dad-of-three.
Allaaeddin Alhalabi, a food delivery driver, had been driving through the Austrian city when he witnessed the horrific scene, quickly and bravely driving his car towards the attacker.
Killer Ahmad G proceeded to jump on the bonnet of the Alhalabi’s vehicle, stabbing at it, but the driver accelerated and flung him off, according to witnesses.
‘I couldn’t let that happen,’ the 42-year-old told local press.
Mr Alhalabi was hailed for his heroic effort and embraced by the family of the dead 14-year-old a couple of days later.
But just a week on from his valiant effort, the Syrian is reportedly fearing for his after receiving death threats online.

‘He has a wife and three kids, he’s afraid,’ a colleague of his told The Times.
The colleague too revealed messages sent to Alhalabi reading ‘consider yourself dead’ and ‘God curse you.’
Following the attack, the perpetrator was seen grinning at Austrian police officers in spine-chilling images captured by those nearby.
Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner later confirmed it was ‘an Islamic attack with IS connections’ – adding to a series of radical attacks in recent weeks which are becoming evermore commonplace in Europe.
Only yesterday, in Berlin, a man was ‘badly wounded’ during a stabbing at a Holocaust memorial near the city’s US Embassy.
A suspected 19-year-old assailant, named as Syrian Wassim al M, was arrested near the crime scene – the investigation remains ongoing.

In another attack, on February 21, a knifeman killed one person and left two police officers seriously injured in an attack in the French market town of Mulhouse, shouting ‘Allahu Akbhar’ as he did so.
The 37-year-old alleged perpetrator had been on a terror prevention watchlist, called FSPRT, prosecutor Nicolas Heitz said, and was arrested following the crime.

Such attacks come at a time of political upheaval in both Austria and Germany, as the far-right Freedom Party in the former and the AfD in the latter have gained in popularity.
Ahead of tomorrow’s German general election, the far-right anti-immigration AfD are predicted to win 20.6% of the vote, according to opinion poles, putting Alice Weidel’s party in second position.
The AfD, which remains under surveillance for suspected extremism, has been shunned by all other mainstream parties in the country – with chancellor Olaf Scholz warning Germans against voting for them, citing Germany’s history of post-World War Two extremism.
Weidel, however, hit back at Scholz’s warning, calling the comparisons between her party and the Nazis ‘scandalous.’
