Quote:Germany’s security situation could become “uncomfortable” if border controls are not strengthened, a former intelligence chief said.

“As the terrorist attacks and attempted attacks in the last two years have shown, the security situation in Germany is very tense,” August Hanning, who ran Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND) from 1998 to 2005, told Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag.

Quote:Hanning said the country has clearly learned from the case of Anis Amri, the 2016 Berlin Christmas market attacker who was already known to German authorities. Still, he argued it’s “negligent” for Germany to allow in so many refugees without adequate identity controls.

“I believe everyone involved learned from that case, and things have improved a great deal,” he said. “But as long as we let people come into the country without identity papers, without clear identity controls, we will have a big security problem.”
