Wood: Merkel Is ‘Teetering on the Brink’ Even if Market Attack Wasn’t Done by a Refugee

WOOD: “I think one reason is the political situation in Germany. We don’t even know who did this and yet it’s already having these political reverberations because of Germany’s status as the country that’s been most welcoming to refugees. Even if this was not perpetrated by a refugee, you can see Angela Merkel is teetering on the brink because of the fact that Germany is politically sensitive right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s one of the reasons for targeting Germany. It's also targets of opportunity. Germany has all of these Christmas markets in every major town. It’s a time of festivity, happiness, and public gatherings that are really soft targets for this kind of attack.”
