“... Schindler is a terrorism expert and director of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP). " Cars were used on Christmas in Magdeburg and on New Year's Day in New Orleans. So it's not totally surprising that another car attack has been attempted," he says. According to the vice president of the Munich police headquarters, Christian Huber, the suspected attack in Munich happened like this: At around 10:30 a.m., a 24-year-old man drove behind the demonstration in his car, overtook a police car protecting the group, accelerated - and drove into the back of the demonstration.”

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler quoted: "A leading counter-terrorism expert has called for urgent reforms in Germany following three attacks in as many months, with the latest suspected terror incident unfolding in Munich on Thursday. The expert's comments come after a car rammed into protesters in central Munich - leaving 28 people injured. Two people are fighting for their lives and 26 others were injured after a Mini Cooper ploughed into a crowd of trade union protesters in Munich. Speaking to GB News, Hans Jakob Schindler said: "Clearly, there is a very tragic situation in Germany. "We had now three attacks in three months, one in December by someone who's been living here in Germany for many, many years was an anti-islamist.”

“The man who plowed through Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day with an ISIS flag on his truck was closely following the terror group’s playbook, promoted in English language magazines and online content circulated globally in an attempt to inspire lone-wolf attacks. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the Army veteran from Texas whose attack killed 14 and injured dozens more, checked almost every box of ISIS’s guidance for carrying out such an attack, based on a review of ISIS literature and interviews with experts… “Even before reviewing my notes, the details of the attack struck me as being particularly reminiscent of ISIS advice,” said Joshua Fisher-Birch, researcher at the Counter Extremism Project, a nonprofit. ISIS and its affiliates have called for attacks similar to Jabbar’s for years, and ISIS followers have carried out or attempted several attacks on New Year’s celebrations before, according to the Counter Extremism Project. Several plots have been foiled in the U.S. and Europe in recent years.”
