German police have identified the suspect in the overnight Berlin Pride ramming as Abdul B., a man with links to Islamist activity. The identification was announced Sunday morning, and the manhunt continues as the suspect remains at large.
Overnight Saturday, initial reports from Berlin indicated a suspect had been arrested, but within hours police clarified that the suspect was still at large and assessed the attack as Islamist terror. The casualty count was refined: from 1 dead and 15 wounded to 17 wounded, 8 in critical condition, with 3 life-threatening injuries, as reported by The Zioneer at 23:44 Jerusalem Saturday night. The suspect's description evolved from a member of the Islamist scene to a 21-year-old Muslim migrant, and now to a named individual with a confirmed Islamist link.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, police identified the driver as an Islamist. The attack on the Berlin Pride parade occurred overnight Saturday, with police launching a manhunt that continues.
The suspect remains at large, and the manhunt is ongoing. Further details on the suspect's background and motives are still emerging.
