Raid in Chemnitz women's prison after reference to possible attacks

The reason for the investigation and research was a "vague clue". In an interview with MDR SACHSEN, Klein explained that two prisoners "exchanged views on the possibility of an attack on the Christmas market in Dresden and Chemnitz". This conversation surprised a third inmate. "In addition, we were told that one of the two should have the opportunity to communicate with the outside," Klein continued. In the raid, among others, the communication was sought, but nothing was found. The prosecution is now "largely aware of the measures" and the suspicion could not be substantiated. Even according to LKA estimates, there is no real danger for the Saxon Christmas markets.

According to media reports, the center of action would be a Syrian woman. As reported by "Free Press", he is a 36-year-old man suspected of supporting the Islamic State's terrorist militias. The prosecution spokesman, Wolfgang Klein, wanted "not to comment on the women's personality".
