Berlin, Germany witnessed an unprecedented attack over the weekend. Massive attack during gay parade. The killer drove through the crowd in Nice, Paris. It is reported that one person has died in the incident. At least 16 people were injured. After attacking the crowd, however, the assailant fled leaving the car behind. Police identified him after impounding the vehicle. A search has been started for him. Initially, the police assumed that the killer was a member of an Islamist militant organization. Whether it was a ‘lone wolf attack’ or a gang plan, an investigation has begun. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz strongly condemned the attack and promised appropriate punishment.
The incident happened on Saturday night. It was around 10pm local time. ‘Christopher Street Day’ is one of the biggest gay community events in Germany. To mark the occasion, gay members gathered in central Berlin’s Tiergarten Park on Saturday night. The procession starts in front of the park’s Brandenburg Gate. Many people gathered. Suddenly, a person entered the crowd with a white car. The procession was dispersed. Everyone started running around in panic. However, the assailant left the car and fled.
Ten years ago, in 2016, a young Muslim man of Tunisian origin drove a truck loaded with explosives into the crowd in Nice, Paris. Many people died on the road. The assailant also died in police firing. Such a large-scale Islamic attack in France has not happened in the recent past. Berlin was attacked in almost the same way this time.
The Berlin police immediately rushed to the spot after receiving the news of the accident. The injured were rescued and admitted to the hospital. One death has been reported. The condition of many of the injured is said to be critical. Police posted on social media that a middle-aged man drove a white car into the gay parade. He was identified but not arrested. The police are conducting vigorous search to reach. All have been assured of safety. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made a statement about this attack. In a statement, he said, “There will be a full investigation into this horrific attack, and the culprits will be punished severely.”
Now the question is, who attacked gay parades in cities like Berlin? Islamist separatist organizations targeted. However, the police are hopeful that everything will be clear only after the arrest of the assailant. Ten years ago, in 2016, a young Muslim man of Tunisian origin drove a truck loaded with explosives into the crowd in Nice, Paris. Many people died on the road. The assailant also died in police firing. Such a large-scale Islamic attack in France has not happened in the recent past. Berlin was attacked in almost the same way this time. Is the rise of militants in Western Europe again? Everyone is raising questions in an atmosphere of panic.
