Summary
Germany’s interior minister said Sunday the van ramming and stabbing near Berlin’s Pride festival is believed to have been an act of Islamic extremist terror.
1 person was killed and many others were injured in the attack, which struck near Berlin’s Christopher Street Day celebrations on Saturday night.
Police had already launched a manhunt for Abdul B., 21, after the assault, which earlier reports said injured 16 people and left three with life-threatening wounds.
The case deepens concern over security at a major LGBTQ event that Chancellor Friedrich Merz had already condemned as “an attack on our society.”
