in what

-- "Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said last month there were no concrete signs of a danger to Christmas markets this year, but added it was wise to be vigilant." --
It gets better...
-- "Germany's Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said 'the news suggests something bad' and that 'his thoughts are with the victims and their families." --
AND, IT COULD'VE BEEN WORSE... -- "The Magdeburg police have cordoned off everything on site because an explosive device is suspected in the perpetrator's vehicle." --
Maybe
IT IS TIME to look at 'root causes', Olaf...
-- "The German government passed new security legislation in October in response to a deadly knife attack in the western city of Solingen in August. The suspected Islamist attacker killed three people and injured eight more." --
BREAKING...
-- "Saxony-Anhalt’s interior minister, Tamara Zieschang, told reporters that the suspect is a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who first came to Germany in 2006." --
