The background of the attack

tagesschau.de the suspect perpetrator is said to be a young man named Emra I. in 2006. He lived in Neumarkt in the Salzburg region. In the crime, he used a repeating book that is reminiscent of the weapon technology of the First World War. The attack in which the perpetrator specifically shot the police officers led to five police officers returning the fire. In the end, Emra I died seriously injured at the scene. The investigation is taken over by the central office to combat extremism and terrorism.

Emra I. comes from a family -born family and had previously come into focus on the authorities due to possible Islamist radicalization. Despite several years of investigation, however, the Austrian authorities found no reliable evidence of its radicalization or contacts with extremist circles. In April 2023, the investigation was discontinued due to a lack of information.

Even if the attack in Munich is perceived as a serious threat, the Bavarian police exclude that higher security measures for the upcoming Oktoberfest are urgently necessary. The existing measures are sufficient, according to the official bodies. However, experts are calling for increased European cooperation to combat such tendencies and the establishment of a European dangerous file in order to be able to better identify potential threats.

The events of September 6, 2024, which took place on the 52nd anniversary of the attack on the Israeli team at the 1972 Olympic Games, again caused concern about anti -Semitism and Islamism. Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock decide from any form of extremism and emphasize the need to protect Israeli facilities.

Overall, the incident once again shows how important security and combating extremism are in the current political landscape and what challenges for society and the authorities are associated with it. Politicians are responsible for reacting to such incidents quickly and taking preventive measures.
