A Syrian asylum-seeker reported to the parliamentary Committee of inquiry about his time with the Islamist assassin of Berlin. The witness puts the authorities in expository.
Shortly after the assassination of the Islamists anise Amri on Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz in December 2016
Mohamed J. shared in the summer of 2015 to his room in an asylum-home in the city of Emmerich in the Federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, with the later assassin Anis Amri and informed government Agencies about his suspicious behavior. His instructions were underestimated by the security authorities but it seems. Because shortly before Christmas eve, 2016, the notch of the Tunisians with a stolen load outgoing vehicles in the Berlin Christmas market at the wide space and killed eleven people. Previously, he had murdered the truck driver. On Thursday, Mohamed J., reported in the parliamentary Committee of inquiry of the Bundestag on his experiences with Amri.
As of today, 26-year-old Mohamed J. fled from Syria, he was one of several hundred thousand. The German authorities were completely overwhelmed, and afterwards came with the registration and accommodation of the many new arrivals. In this Situation, Mohamed J. informed the management that his roommate is “normal”. He is constantly making him and two other men in the common room of religious representations. In addition, J. noted that Amri has a kind of notebook to see the flag of the terrorist militia Islamic state (IS).
Also, the Federal office for Migration and refugees was in the picture
The recited in the Arabic language and simultaneously translated into German observations of the young students are on the Committee of inquiry very interesting. Because the deputies are trying since March of 2017 to find out why the in security circles known Islamist Amri could not be stopped in time. After all, he was led as a so-called threat. Such persons are referred to, where a terrorist attack are believed to have.
The names of the victims of the attack are engraved in the steps in front of the memorial Church on the breitscheidplatz
Why the explosive evidence of the witness J. in the Sands were, is unclear. In addition to the Manager in Emmerich, the Federal office for Migration and refugees (Bamf) learned in the summer of 2016, so a year and a half before the most serious Islamist attack in Germany. The young man who has studied in Syria, and in his new home now for a construction company operates, informed the authorities about other habits Amris. He had seen Videos of suicide bombings and via the Internet with people communicates, the J. for of IS-sympathizers.
Germany was for Amri, the “Land of the unbelievers”
His roommate, he asked why they were in the “Land of the infidels” to fight in Syria. That he himself was in Germany, Amri has established, to the German “Rob”. The Islam allow it. The intent to stop terrorism, have no problem talking, but, said J. before the Committee. Its Chairman Armin Schuster adopted him, that he was a “valuable witness”.
The final value of the statement will have to wait a few months sized. Because the authorities-employees, which has revealed to Mohamed J., will also testify. In the center of interest should then be the question of why the police at the end of January 2017 J. approached. A month after the assassination.
