Terrorist attack in Berlin: Failure of the authorities ensures alarm!

Terrorist attack in Berlin: Failure of the authorities ensures alarm!

Germany narrowly missed an impending terrorist attack. The 25-year-old Libyer Omar A. planned to attack the Israeli embassy in Berlin and received support from a member of the "Islamic State." It did not alert German secret services, but foreign services, especially from North Africa, the authorities. While the Federal Republic's intelligence services apparently remained unable in their action, the question arises: Why was Omar A. not deported before he was arrested?

his asylum application was rejected in September 2023, but the German authorities took almost a whole year to report it as a rejected asylum seeker. The Interior Ministry of the State of Brandenburg said that returns to Libya are currently impossible because there are no direct flight connections for deportations. Politicians are stunned by this situation. The CDU interior expert Christoph de Vries sums it up: The Omar A. case is a symbol of the failure of the federal government when it comes to enforcing duties. The discussion about the lack of deportation practice and the associated risks becomes more intense, while the government adheres to the apparent incapacity to act.
