Berlin – A guy crashes a series of highways in Berlin, injuring six people, 3 of them seriously, in what Gerguy prosecutors described on Wednesday as an alleged Islamist attack.
Police said the guy caused 3 injuries on the Autobahn 100 in the Tempelhof-Schoeneberg district shortly before 7 p. m. On Tuesday, before announcing that a box in his car contained a “dangerous object. “
The 30-year-old Iraqi had targeted motorcyclists in a “near-hunt,” a spokesman for the prosecution said at a news conference.
Local media reported that the guy yelled “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) when his mutilated black Opel Astra was pulled from him.
“The option of an Islamist attack is ruled out,” prosecutors said in a statement.
“The defendant’s statements recommend an Islamist motivation” for his actions. “There are also symptoms of mental instability,” they added.
The suspect has been arrested for attempted murder in at least 3 cases and later today faced a lawsuit over who will do it if he deserves to be placed in an intellectual institution.
One of those injured is a firefighter, Berlin’s Interior Minister Andreas Geisel, adding that “he is appalled that other blameless people have been victims of a crime that came out of nowhere. “
“We will have to be aware that Berlin remains in the midst of Islamist terrorism,” he added.
German media reported that a motorcyclist was also among the injured.
The suspect had posted clues on social media that he was planning an attack, according to the DPA news agency.
He had posted photos of the car used in the attack on Facebook, as well as slogans, according to the report, which mentions a spokesman for the prosecution.
“No one comes close or they will all die,” said the suspect, quoted by the daily Bild, after getting out of his car and hitting the boat on the roof.
His vehicle was stopped after colliding with a motorcycle.
However, when the police opened the jets of water from the top of the box, it was discovered that it only involved tools.
The highway was closed for several hours, leading to heavy traffic jams and drivers were asked to leave their cars as a precaution.
Investigators have not discovered any connection to a terrorist organization, prosecutors said.
People linked to Islamic extremism have carried out several violent attacks in Germany.
The deadliest was a truck rampage at a Berlin Christmas market in December 2016 that killed 12 people.
The Tunisian attacker, a failed asylum seeker, a supporter of the jihadist organization Islamic State.
More recently, an Islamist and his wife were convicted of planning a biological bomb attack in Germany in 2018 with the fatal castor poison.
The couple had ordered castor beans, explosives, and steel ball bearings to build the poison bomb.
The guy was sentenced in March to 10 years in prison while his wife was sentenced to 8 years in June.
Since 2013, the number of harmful Islamists in Germany has increased fivefold to 680, according to security services.
The far right has accused Chancellor Angela Merkel of contributing to the Islamist risk by opening the country’s borders to thousands of migrants in 2015.
