17 Years “War on Terror” – GERMAN-FOREIGN-POLICY.com

If in the fall of 2001, the objective had been to annihilate Al Qaeda, today, global jihadism has spread.

Chemnitz fact check: Were foreigners chased down during protests? | Germany| News and in-depth reporting from Berlin and beyond | DW | 09.09.2018 – yes
Based on the evidence, Maassen’s assertions that the video was “deliberate misinformation” do not stack up. The timing, location and perpetrators all indicate that the incident did take place in Chemnitz on August 26, as the right-wing demonstrations began to break out.
