Magdeburg Christmas market attack suspect threatened act to 'attract international attention' in 2013

The suspect in the German Christmas market attack 'threatened to do something that would attract international attention' in 2013 and was flagged as a potential threat the following year, according to a state interior minister. Christian Pegel told a press conference the 50-year-old suspect had referred to the Boston Marathon bombings, in which three people were killed and hundreds injured in an Islamist terrorist attack in April 2013, during a professional dispute at around that time.

He told the press conference the suspect said 'he would carry out actions that would attract international attention and that people would long remember' while trying to obtain funding for his living expenses from a public authority in the city of Stralsund. He also said he wouldn't leave until his application was granted, that he might be forced to take 'further action' and that 'they would be responsible for his suicide', according to the minister.
