[Brief] Feuerkrieg Division Threatens UK Police After Arrest of Alleged Member
The Feuerkrieg Division (FKD) — an international far-right organization inspired by the Atomwaffen Division — lashed out against news that one of their associates in the United Kingdom was apprehended earlier this month.
On September 13, FKD shared a link to a Sept. 10 news article titled, “16-year-old Hitler worshipper ‘planned terror attack’”, on their public Telegram channel.
The article reports that a teenager who “researched home-made sub machine guns, pistols and ammunition while planning a terror attack” was recently arrested at his home in Rugby, England. The 16-year-old — who is reportedly an “army cadet” — reportedly “listed his heroes as Adolf Hitler and far-right figure James Nolan Mason in an online application to join a hate forum called Feuerkrieg Division.”
FKD did not take the news well.
About 12 minutes after sharing the article, FKD wrote on Telegram: “Release our comrade or you will regret it.”
If it wasn’t clear who (or what) FKD was threatening, the group made it clearer hours later when it published a propaganda image depicting a masked man holding a noose around the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The text on the image reads: “Release our member, or your heads will be our Agenda.”
About an hour later, FKD released another propaganda image, this time of a handgun pointed at the head of a specific officer of the West Midlands Police in England. The officer, FKD wrote, was “responsible for the arrest of a 16 year old National Socialist.”
In subsequent messages, FKD listed names and addresses of what they claim are not only West Midlands Police stations and training facilities, but also “high value targets” for national socialists.
The West Midlands police officer is the latest person FKD has threatened this year. Just last week on Telegram, FKD threatened two Estonians: athlete Grete Šadeiko and Züleyxa Izmailova, an environmental activist and leader of Estonia’s Green Party.
In June, FKD threatened YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki after their channel on the video-sharing website was taken down.
And in April, the group made headlines when it threatened Guy Verhofstadt, a Belgian Member of the European Parliament, on the Gab social media network.
