Morocco Warned Germany Twice About Berlin Killer Anis Amri; German Intel Did Nothing


A Moroccan security official says that his country's intelligence service warned Germany twice about the risk posed by Anis Amri, the radical Muslim who slaughtered 12 people at a Christmas market in Berlin earlier this month.

The official, who spoke to Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah, says that the Germans received two written warnings, one on September 19 and the other on October 1, about Amri's radical Islamic beliefs. He explains:

Correspondence from the Moroccan security agencies had a clear warning about the Tunisian man's desire to carry out a terrorist act.

Earlier this month, Dutch populist Geert Wilders was criticized because he told Angela Merkel in a tweet that she had blood on her hands.

We now know that he was 100% correct. Merkel and the entire German government do have blood on their hands. Not only because they had an open-borders policy that allowed terrorists like Amri to get in, but also because they sat on their hands when they were warned about specific individuals with specific plans.

If Merkel had any sense of honor, she'd resign. Instead, she's eyeing yet another term as German chancellor. Shameful.
Leftists have no shame. They will sell you down the river while getting caught and then tell you it is for your own good.

#1 Why should they pay anymore attention to warnings about a threat than the FBI to the Boston bombers?

#4 Why should they pay anymore attention to warnings about a threat than the FBI to the Boston bombers?

Came here to say that. It looks (semi) obvious to me that higher ups in both countries were told to look the other way & do nothing, lest someone gets called 'racist' or insensitive.

#5 Yeah. They had to make a choice between being racist or stupid.

#6 Doesn't how we interpret this depends on how many such warnings Germans received?

#7 "Germany continues to have a reputation for effective and efficient government administration, despite the fact all the evidence suggests Germany is now run by a collection of thumbless boobs. As someone on Sailer’s site noted, this is not a new thing. Germany has been operating like a drunk on holiday for quite some time. Angela Merkel’s decision to import a million violent low-IQ barbarians is just the most egregious example of the reckless disregard for their duties by the German rulers and the indifference of the German people to it.

It’s not just the Germans, either. The French have been tolerating the importation of useless savages from North Africa for decades. Paris is now a small tourist area surrounded by Bronze Age cavemen. Every election, the French people come out and vote for the guy promising to murder more French citizens, because the alternative risks being called a racist and that’s worse than death. The fact that millions of otherwise sensible people can vote in favor of suicide like this speaks to the power of belief."
