The suspect in the German Christmas market attack "threatened to do something that would attract international attention" in 2013 and was flagged as a potential threat the following year, according to a state interior minister.

Christian Pegel told a press conference the 50-year-old suspect had referred to the Boston Marathon bombings, in which three people were killed and hundreds injured in an Islamist terrorist attack in April 2013, during a professional dispute at around that time.

He was fined after no evidence was found of Islamist tendencies or that he was preparing to commit such an act, said the interior minister for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a state in northern Germany.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I wonder how many jihadis have been welcomed to this country by the Biden administration with the same thoughts on their minds. :reaper:
