In a situation assessment of the Federal Criminal Police Office, it states: "Due to the chosen Modus Operandi, it can also be assumed that (...) will probably be selected rather soft goals or solidarity rallies that currently take place regularly with a larger number of people in the concrete selection of goals."
It continues: "In addition, it must be taken into account that the Middle East conflict has a very great potential for emotionalization, which can express itself currently and at any time in Germany in the context of spontaneous meetings and vigils on both sides. It must therefore be assumed from the local point of view with regard to the time of the crime that an opportunity for the crime in the sense of the indication can be offered at any time."

Obviously, the Islamist terrorist attack in Brussels also had an influence on the Duisburg danger. The BKA situation assessment states that Tarik S. "praised the assassin of Brussels in this context and was inspired by his actions of 16.10.2023."
Because of this concrete danger that Tarik S. could start at any time, the police decided for immediate access!
