Berlin Pride attack prompts review of juvenile sentencing and intelligence flow

• The Berlin Pride attack has intensified scrutiny of juvenile-court decisions after Abdul Ballout was released weeks before the incident.
• Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said he intends to examine possible changes to Germany’s juvenile criminal law.
• Germany’s Joint Counter-Terrorism Center had classified Ballout as dangerous, but that assessment did not reach the Berlin court before sentencing.
