"Farhad N., an Afghan national, said he decided to carry out the attack and kill Germans indiscriminately as a reaction to the suffering of Muslims in predominantly Islamic countries, according to the prosecution.

A 37-year-old woman and her 12-year-old daughter were killed in the attack, with many others being severely injured."
