On February 14, 2025, a car ramming incident during a rally in Munich left 36 people injured. Authorities arrested a 24-year-old Afghan suspect who was found to have an 'Islamist motive' for the act. However, prosecutors clarified that there is no evidence connecting the attack to any known terrorist organizations, like the Islamic State. The suspect faces multiple charges, including attempted murder. German President Steinmeier expressed the community's shock during a moment of silence for the victims, noting the serious nature of the injuries sustained, particularly among children.
"He has admitted that he deliberately drove into the participants of the demonstration," Prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann stated, emphasizing the intentional nature of the attack.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier remarked, 'The brutality of this crime churns our emotions and renders us speechless,' highlighting the impact of the attack on the community.
