American broadcaster CNN also spoke to a source with knowledge of the communication who said that the Saudis first warned Germany in 2007 with concerns about his radical views. Prosecutor Horst Walter Nopens linked the motive behind the attack – yet to be classified as terror – to “dissatisfaction over treatment of Saudi refugees in Germany”.“This was clear to see,” she said, but declined to elaborate on the man’s political affiliationsof Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party coalition government in November.
