The leader of North Rhine-Westphalia acknowledged his mistake of not stopping a 2004 attack that left 22 people with minor injuries. He added that the victims of this incident were wrongly considered suspects instead of being compassionately helped. The Prime Minister, Wuest, said, "To all who suffered this susceptibility during the time they weren't believed, you have my apologies."

The terrorists, Uwe Böhnhardt and Uwe Mundlos, were responsible for setting off a nail bomb at a Turkish-speaking site in the district of Mülheim on June 9, 2004. The police then began investigating the Turkish community for years, suspecting involvement in the crime. However, it wasn't until seven years later that the National Socialist Underground, a right-wing terrorist group, were identified as the true culprits.
