A 37-year-old woman and her 2-year-old daughter died from injuries sustained in a car attack during a trade union demonstration in Munich, Germany. The attack injured dozens of people, with eight seriously hurt. The suspect, a 24-year-old Afghan national, was arrested and is facing charges of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, and reckless driving. Authorities believe the attack was motivated by Islamic extremism, as the suspect stated in a police interview that his actions were driven by religious reasons.
The attack is not believed to be connected to a nearby security conference attended by world leaders, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. There is no evidence suggesting the suspect was part of any Islamist organizations or had accomplices. A search of his apartment did not yield any evidence related to the attack.
The suspect, an asylum seeker with a legal right to remain in Germany, arrived in the country in 2016 as an unaccompanied minor. He had no prior convictions and was known to authorities as a witness in previous investigations related to his work as a store detective. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are treating the incident as an act of Islamic extremism.
