Breitbart

Police in Germany have admitted that they were warned from Saudi Arabia about the potential dangers of the suspected perpetrator of the Magdeburg Christmas market attack, yet failed to act on the warnings.

The head of Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), Holger Münch, has acknowledged that his agency was tipped off by Riyadh in November of last year about Taleb A., a Saudi Arabian refugee accused of plowing a car into a crowded Christmas market on Friday evening, killing at least five people and injuring hundreds more.

According to Welt, Münch said: “Proceedings have also been initiated here. The police in Saxony-Anhalt then carried out appropriate investigative measures.”

However, no further actions were taken. The BKA chief also said that the suspect had “various contacts with the authorities, made insults and even made threats,” but Münch claimed that “he was not known for acts of violence.” read more
