A 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker drove into a labor union demonstration in Munich, injuring 30 people, including children, prompting authorities to consider it a targeted attack. This incident, occurring ahead of Germany's Feb. 23 election, highlights rising concerns over violence involving immigrants. Following the event, police arrested the suspect and fired at his vehicle. Investigations into the attack are being conducted by a department focusing on extremism and terrorism, given the context of recent attacks and the suspect's background.
"The suspect was a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker, police said. Authorities believe the protest was likely targeted at random, emphasizing the unexpected nature of the attack."
"We feel with the victims, we are praying for the victims - we hope very much that they all make it," said Bavarian governor Markus Söder, expressing solidarity with those hurt.
