On Saturday a suspect believed to be tied to Berlin’s “Islamist scene” plowed through the Berlin Gay Pride Parade killing at least one person and injuring 16 others. The Berlin Christopher Street Parade is one of the largest annual LGBT events in Europe.
The killer rammed his car into revelers at the annual Christopher Street Day celebration.
The Sun reported that the suspect then left the vehicle with a bladed weapon and attacked people in the park near the end of the parade route.
According to Bild.de, the man, was known to be a member of the Islamist scene. He is believed to be Abdul Ballout, 21. Police admitted Abdul Ballout was linked to Islamist groups and was on the authorities’ radar.
Ballout was killed on Sunday when Berlin police surrounded a garden plot before moving in and killed the Islamist who drove through the gay pride parade on Saturday.
According to Bild.de the terrorist attacked police with a “bladed weapon” before he was killed at 6:34 PM German Time.
This is not the first deadly Islamist attack in Germany.
