This goes off into a light discussion....which public TV (ARD) went through the three basic facts. One should note from this dead Vienna terrorist (from last weekend)...the police are still digging through his limited past. I've written two or three essays over the attack, and terrorist himself. The basic updates?
1. The Vienna police gave bits and pieces of information to the German police, which resulted in a couple of raids (Kassel, Osnabruck, and Pinneberg). Kassel is here in Hessen (far north region). Osnabruck is located west of Hanover. And Pinneberg is a 15-minute drive NW of Hamburg.
2. Raids centered on 'friends' or people who'd socialized with the dead terrorist in the past year. It should be noted....one of the three locations was simply a person who'd connected via the internet and had never met the guy in person.
3. From the 3 locations....no one was detained or arrested. This was more of a collection of evidence, and to answer a few loose questions. In some ways, it appears that they merely bumped into the guy....had a chat, and that was the extent of their contact.
So you could view all of this and feel safe in saying there was marginally a connection in Germany, with this Vienna guy. I would still go with the belief that he had a mental breakdown while in prison and lost prospective on things.
