Suspect who drove into Munich crowd likely had ‘Islamist motivation,’ prosecutor says
An Afghan national has admitted to purposefully driving into a crowd of demonstrators in Munich, and authorities have determined an Islamist motive for the crime, a prosecutor says at a news conference.
“He has admitted that he deliberately drove into the participants of the demonstration,” prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann says.
“I’m very cautious about making hasty judgements, but based on everything we know at the moment, I would venture to speak of an Islamist motivation for the crime,” she adds.
