German security chiefs grilled over Magdeburg attack DW 12/30/2024
Briefly

During a questioning session, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser emphasized that while there were "striking signs of a pathological psyche" in the alleged attacker, the motive remains unclear.
Faeser highlighted the need for thorough scrutiny of the attacker's social media activity, stating that, "every stone is being turned" in the investigation of the individual who had posted tens of thousands of tweets over many years.
Despite the investigation, Faeser acknowledged the challenges of determining responsibility, suggesting that even comprehensive data might not have prevented the tragic incident at the Magdeburg Christmas market.
The German authorities are facing criticism for potentially overlooking important signs that the attacker posed a threat, with calls for clarity on what warnings were known and acted upon.
