Two Dead, 39 Injured in Suspected Islamist Attack on Munich Demonstration

A 24-year-old Afghan man drove into a crowd during a Verdi union protest, with authorities investigating religious motivations.

A two-year-old girl and her 37-year-old mother have died from injuries sustained in the attack, which also left 39 others injured.
The suspect, who drove his car into the demonstration, reportedly admitted to acting intentionally and cited religious motivations during police questioning.
Authorities have identified potential Islamist motivations, with the suspect reportedly shouting 'Allahu Akbar' and referencing divine instructions for the attack.
The German Federal Prosecutor's Office has taken over the case, citing its potential impact on the country's democratic order and internal security.
The suspect, who had previously lied about his asylum claim, is now in custody and faces charges including multiple counts of attempted murder.
