MUNICH, Feb 14 — Police believe the Afghan man suspected of driving a car into a group of people in Munich may have had Islamist extremist motives, German authorities said Friday.

Initial assessments of evidence seized from electronic devices belonging to the suspect showed a “certain Islamist orientation”, police spokesman Guido Limmer told reporters.

After the incident, the suspect uttered the words “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) to police officers and also prayed after his arrest, prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann added. — AFP

  1. The worst decision Germany made since WWII has been Angela Merkel's action to admit over 1 million potential Jihadis into its borders.

    It has opened the gates to repeated terrorist attacks, heavily disrupted social cohesion in Germany, and left their population especially in the former Communist East open to Russian-sponsored social media propaganda promoting White Supremacist agenda and xenophobia.
