Surveillance of Suspected Attacker Prior to CSD Berlin Incident
Investigations reveal that Abdul B., the alleged perpetrator of the CSD Berlin attack, was monitored by security agencies just one hour before the incident.
Reports from SZ, NDR, and WDR indicate that the Berlin State Criminal Police (LKA) had installed a camera outside Abdul B.’s residence, capturing footage of him leaving at 20:58 on the evening of the attack. Shortly thereafter, he allegedly drove a white van into a crowd in Tiergarten, resulting in one fatality and 29 injuries. Authorities had assessed his risk potential as ‘high.’
