VIENNA - The head of anti-terror operations in the Austrian capital Vienna was suspended on Friday as details emerged of further security lapses in the run up to this week's Islamic militant attack which left four people dead.

Zwettler's position became untenable in the light of"obvious and intolerable" failures, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said, after revealing that gunman Kujtim Fejzulai had been in contact with people who had been on the radar of the German intelligence agencies. Nehammer himself has come under pressure in the days since the attack with sharp criticism coming from opposition parties that the failures had taken place under his watch.

Nehammer said earlier this week that Fejzulai had managed to"fool" the de-radicalisation programme, attendance of which had been a condition of his release. More on this topic The BVT domestic intelligence agency"told us that the visits to these mosques furthered the attacker's radicalisation," Raab said.A statement from the Islamic Religious Community of Austria said one officially registered mosque was being shut because it had broken rules over"religious doctrine and its constitution", as well as national legislation governing Islamic institutions.

The probe into the attacker's circle has spread to Austria's neighbours, with investigations ongoing in Switzerland and Germany.
