Security failure on Christmas market: police stands without power!

Security failure on Christmas market: police stands without power!

An unforgettable nightmare happened yesterday evening at the Christmas market in Magdeburg when a perpetrator raced into a crowd with a vehicle and killed five people and left over 200 injuries. This tragedy raises enormous questions about security, in particular about the failures of the authorities. Why could the police not prevent this brutally planned attack? Is there a security failure on the Christmas market that should actually be protected? These and many other critical questions remain open to the incident, as Image emphasized.

The perpetrator, identified as Taleb A., was not only an atypical suspicious, but also known threat. The authorities also had to face the fact that they had not adequately dealt with with warnings from Saudi Arabia, which pointed out his potential attack intentions. These developments require urgent questions about the effectiveness and communication between different security services. In addition, it remains unclear why his alarming social media posts were not taken seriously early. The failure of the authorities now leads to consequences: an increased police presence at Christmas markets and a review of existing security concepts are required.
