Intelligence director warns of global spread of terrorism
The head of Germany’s
domestic intelligence service, Hans-Georg Maassen, spoke about the threat of
"crisis globalization" at this year’s European Police Convention in
Berlin.
By way of introducing
Maassen, the moderator of the congress reminded the audience of the latest terrorist
attacks in Paris and Copenhagen. Similar attacks could happen at any time in
Berlin, Hamburg, or Munich, he said. Maassen, the president of Germany's Office
for the Protection of the Constitution, then spoke at length about
international crises and their consequences for security. His was a sobering
message for the roughly 400 audience members.
