Scholz: German special services, unlike American ones, had no data on plotted terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz claimed that the German special services had no information about the upcoming terrorist attack in Krasnogorsk, assuming that the US intelligence services were aware of it, TASS reports
In an interview with the Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, answering a journalist's question whether the German special services knew about the preparation of a terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, Olaf Scholz said, “No, but the American intelligence services probably had some leads.”
The German Chancellor noted that it is part of the US government’s policy to warn other states when receiving such information. “They even gave a public warning. It is all the more regrettable that this terrible terrorist attack did happen,” Olaf Scholz added.
