The Interior Ministry declined to comment on the report. In response to a request from the APA, it was said that the commission of inquiry established to investigate possible errors by the authorities would examine the situation comprehensively for incorrect assessments.
He allegedly refused to increase the level of risk
According to “Krone”, the LVT employee in charge wanted to “improve” the killer after it emerged that the IS sympathizer convicted of a terrorist organization had tried to get ammunition for an assault rifle. His superiors had postponed it until November with reference to an ongoing operation against the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Image full of mishaps and failures”
“If that’s true, that’s another excerpt from a picture full of setbacks and omissions,” SPÖ club boss Jörg Leichtfried urged in a press release. If Interior Minister Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) and the Office for the Protection of the Constitution had “done their job as they should, the perpetrator could have been arrested and the act prevented,” said SPÖ security spokesman Reinhold Einwallner.
Both demanded that the report of the investigating commission be presented to the parliament in its entirety and without staining itself: “We also want a parliamentary commission analogous to the Kampusch commission to clarify all the incidents and errors related to the terrorist attack.”
Vienna Assassin Upgraded Before Attack
According to reliable information from the APA, the killer was “updated” later as a potential threat, but on October 13, almost three weeks before the terrorist attack that killed four bystanders. It is still unclear why no action was taken against him during this period due to the changing risk situation and why he was able to carry out his terrorist plans without hindrance.
