Summary

A 24-year-old Afghan man with suspected Islamist sympathies drove a car into a trade union demonstration in Munich, injuring at least 28 people, including children.

The suspect, identified as Farhad N, arrived in Germany as an asylum seeker and had previously posted Islamist content on social media.

Media images showed the damaged Mini Cooper, and several bodies lying on the ground which was strewn with shoes and stained with blood.

Police are investigating the incident as a possible deliberate attack, which occurred just ten days before Germany’s general elections.

    I know I’ll sound as nutty as a Q Anon idiot, but it seems like a false flag attack. Or something close to it

      Even if you are right, the actions were still done by individuals that should take full consequences. I doubt the opposite side would be able to (even if they wanted) convince a non islamic person to do something like that.

          Good point, but there are no proofs Vučič encouraged anyone to do it. I belive he did though, but we shouldn’t presume things like that. We were talknig about Germany. Serbia is not even in EU.

            On 1 December, Vučić made a statement following a similar incident in which he questioned whether the driver should be held responsible and arrested. He said the man was “going his way” and added, “Those who claim that such drivers should be arrested should splash their faces with cold water.”

            If you don’t see this as encouraging then I can’t help you.
