Washington DC – For the security disaster in the attack on the US Congress building on January 6, the former head of Capitol Police, Steven Sund, blamed the secret services. Sund said on Tuesday (February 23, 2021) at a hearing in the US Senate that the information from the intelligence services had in no way predicted the events on said January day.
His team had prepared for a large demonstration with the potential for violence. Instead, a “military coordinated attack” and “violent takeover of the Kapitol-Building “had to do. Sund emphasized that the police are dependent on knowledge from the secret service apparatus. “We rely on this information to be absolutely correct.”
Riots in Washington: Donald Trump fans were “prepared for war”
The police did not expect an onslaught of thousands of “criminals”. “They had weapons, chemical ammunition, explosive devices, shields, protective vests,” said Sund. “These criminals were prepared for a war.“
“No agency, including the FBI, has provided intelligence that there would be a coordinated violent attack on the US Capitol by thousands of well-equipped, armed insurgents,” Sund said. Compared to the radical fans of the then president Donald Trump his officials were “clearly outnumbered”.

Other high-ranking security officials from Congress also complained at the Senate hearing that the intelligence agencies had failed to do so.
