Good riddance to bad rubbish!
The Berlin Vehicle Jihadist Was a “German citizen of Lebanese Background”
Here’s what we know about the attack and suspect:
A major manhunt
German authorities launched a major manhunt after an attacker drove a van into a crowd near Saturday’s Pride celebrations before stabbing several people with a machete.
Police identified the suspect as Abdul B., a 21-year-old, German citizen of Lebanese background who was born in Germany in 2005, and published his pictures, asking the public for any information on his whereabouts.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday afternoon, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt described the incident as an “Islamist terror attack.” One person was killed and 29 others were injured, some severely, he said.
Dobrindt said the suspect had used the vehicle as a weapon before allegedly attacking other people with what was believed to be a machete.
Police said Sunday that none of the injured remained in a life-threatening condition.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz condemned the incident as a “heinous act” and an attack on German society.
Pride celebrations interrupted
Before the attack, people had celebrated peacefully, marching through the city for hours, dancing to loud music and cheering as around 80 floats traveled along the parade route.
