Merkel decries shortcomings in federal states' security controls
The German Chancellor on Thursday urged on all federal states to work together towards a common security and anti-terror framework.
"Unfortunately we still see differing kinds of laws in individual states," Merkel told the Funke media group.
Merkel called out Germany's most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), for its supposedly lackluster security controls and reluctance to introduce stop and search laws.
Merkel also pointed out that some states, such as Berlin and NRW, don't provide a legal framework for authorities to monitor potential threats.
