A Somali man is officially classified as armed and violent by Bremen security authorities – police officers are explicitly warned about him. And yet, the 28-year-old walks freely through the streets. NIUS has obtained exclusive internal documents showing that the man himself announced to the police his intention to injure people and also threatened to destroy cars and houses. Classified as a politically motivated offender with a religious ideology, security sources even suspect him of Islamist extremism. This story highlights a problem that has been highly topical since the Islamist attack on Christopher Street Day in Berlin: The attacker, Abdul Balout, was also well known to the authorities, was under surveillance, and was most recently classified by the Counter Terrorism Centre as “high risk,” the highest alert level. This did not prevent the attack. How many such cases are there in Germany? NIUS therefore conducted an exclusive survey of all 16 state interior ministries for the first time. The result is clear: 410 potential terrorists are currently known and under observation nationwide.
