A city is looking for a perpetrator: anti-terror unit GSG 9 combs the Anhalter Bahnhof in Kreuzberg

On Sunday morning, the anti-terror unit GSG 9 combed the Anhalter Bahnhof in Kreuzberg. This is located a few hundred meters south of Potsdamer Platz and the crime scene in the southern Tiergarten.

The underground S-Bahn station is curved in a slight curve, there are two platforms where the trains that travel through the north-south tunnel to and from Potsdamer Platz stop. One of the four tracks – a stub track – ends in front of a buffer stop. It lies beneath the rest of the ruins of the historic Anhalter Bahnhof from the imperial era, which was badly hit by bombs during the Second World War and was blown up after the war.

Several dark gray GSG 9 vehicles stood at the intersection and the entrances to the train station for hours in the morning. The heavily armed special forces, helmeted and masked, were apparently searching the train station for the suspect.

On the mezzanine, doors have been opened to rooms that are otherwise closed. The emergency services did not find Abdul B.. They left late in the morning.

During the night the police had already tried it in the Bissingzeile in the Tiergarten district, right on the border with Schöneberg and not far from Potsdamer Platz and the crime scene. There is the registration address of Abdul B.

However, his name has only been added to the doorbell with an adhesive strip; in fact, the name of the extended C. family, which has branches across the country, is written there. Investigators believe that some members belong to the clan milieu and are also considered Hezbollah supporters. Abdul B. is said to sympathize with the “Islamic State” (IS).

According to information from “Welt”, the police operation began there at around 1:10 a.m. Accordingly, a very loud, explosive bang could be heard in the apartment building. According to the “Welt” report, the police left at around 1:25 a.m. There was no arrest. Nobody was in the apartment, not even Abdul B..

As of Sunday afternoon, Abdul B. is still on the run. Memories of the major terrorist attack on Breitscheidplatz in December 2016 are brought back: At that time, the search for the perpetrator took four days – police shot him at a train station in Italy.
