SOT, Thomas De Maiziere, German Interior Minister (German): "This is also, in particular, regarding terror attacks. We have, as the federal government, taken many measures in this legislative period - both in the legal sense and also organisationally. One of these measures was the foundation of the so-called 'BFE+' - which is a special, robust operative unit - [created] through the readiness of the police and the federal state. In the framework, they're prepared to give a strong response to grave terror attacks."
