As the investigation into the Munich car attack unfolds, indications of an Islamic motivation have intensified. According to the prosecution, the 24-year-old Afghan suspect, who was taken into custody, uttered the phrase “Allahu Akbar” during his interrogation and also stated that he had acted intentionally. The possibility of a religious motivation and an “islamistische Tatmotivation” is now being considered. The suspect is expected to be brought before a judge on Friday afternoon.
The incident, which occurred on Thursday morning, involved a small car being driven into a labor union rally organized by the Verdi union. The number of injured has risen to 36, according to the latest police report, with two individuals, including a two-year-old girl, listed as severely hurt.
