Hans-Jakob Schindler, a terrorism expert from the Counter Extremism Project, highlighted security vulnerabilities following a recent attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg. He emphasized the bizarre fact that vehicles can still access such markets and advocated for tighter perimeter security using concrete or heavy metal barriers. Schindler also noted the unusual profile of the alleged attacker, being 50 years old, in contrast to younger radicals typically involved in recent Islamist attacks, remarking on the last involvement of Saudis in a significant attack being the September 11, 2001 events in the USA.
