Germany continues to deal with the weekend attack on Berlin's Christopher Street Day, in which a 21-year-old man, according to available information, drove a van into a crowd in central Berlin and subsequently killed one person with a bladed weapon. The event was ended early on Saturday following reports of injuries and due to the complex security situation. STVR (Spravy) ↗
The Federal Prosecutor's Office announced that the second suspect is free again. According to media reports, the suspicion of involvement in the act was not confirmed. The investigation is thus focused primarily on the alleged perpetrator, Abdul Ballout, who, according to reports, was known to authorities as an Islamist risk individual. It is also stated that he was free on probation and had previously attempted to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State. Tagesspiegel ↗
The organizers of Berlin CSD expressed shock after the attack. A member of the association's leadership described the moments before the evacuation, and the organizers emphasized that they want to remain audible. Further questions are also raised by the information that the alleged perpetrator's father was on the phone with him just a few hours before the attack. Die Zeit ↗
The case remains under investigation and is sparking discussion in Germany about the security of large public events, as well as about how authorities handle individuals already registered as security risks before they commit an act. Deutschlandfunk ↗
