BERLIN (Reuters) - The Islamic State branch known as ISIS-Khorasan, which U.S. intelligence says appears responsible for the mass shooting attack near Moscow, poses the greatest Islamist threat to security in Germany, its interior minister said on Tuesday.

"The threat level is still high," Nancy Faeser said in a statement. "It was already high before the attacks in Moscow and has remained consistently high."
