Fact:
On April 3, 2017, the day Vladimir Putin was due to visit the city, a suicide bombing was carried out in the St. Petersburg metro, killing 15 people and injuring 64. An al-Qaeda affiliate, Imam Shamil Battalion, claimed responsibility.
“... The Munich attack once again shows the increased threat of terrorism in Germany. Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler explains why reforms in the regulation of social media, the legal basis of security and police services and the management of migration are urgently needed. Once again, a terrorist attack has shaken Germany. Since the knife attack in Solingen in May 2024, this is the sixth terrorist attack in ten months and, together with the attack in Magdeburg in December 2024, the second terrorist attack in which a vehicle was used as a means of committing the crime. There is currently very little concrete information available about the perpetrator in Munich.”
