German ISIS axe attack ‘shows European security can’t cope with scale of migrant crisis’…(By Design!)
EUROPE’S migrant crisis has made it impossible for security services to prevent ISIS-inspired attacks like those in Nice, a counter-terrorism think tank has warned.

Germany was added to the list of terror-struck European nations after an axe-wielding 17-year-old Afghan refugee attacked passengers on a train in the southern state of Bavaria.
The multiple crises involving radicalised young men with links to groups operating in the Middle East and North Africa – including those in Brussels, Paris and Nice – have stretched the continent’s intelligence services to breaking point.
Yesterday’s attack by one of Germany’s new arrivals will focus fresh political pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel, who opened the country’s borders to migrants over the past year.
According to Alan Mendoza, executive director of the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), yesterday’s train attack “illustrates the reality that some ISIS sympathisers will have slipped through European borders”.
The think tank said around two per cent of Germany’s population arrived last year, making it “impossible in practice for European security services to screen new arrivals with thoroughness sufficient to preclude the possibility of attacks” like the one on a train last night.
According to Institute of Migration estimates, around one million migrants and refugees arrived in Europe in 2015, three or four times the number in 2014.
