Before the attack, security authorities in Berlin were concerned about the radicalization of the alleged future attacker Abdul B. They sought support and information from the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) to assess potential dangers.

Despite the high level of concern, the security authorities did not receive any useful information from the BND, leading to their hopes for external support being in vain.
