German authorities on Sunday launched a manhunt for the suspect accused of driving a van into crowds at Berlin’s Pride festival, an attack that killed one woman and injured at least 16 others. The suspect was Islamic State supporter, according to German media.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who was briefed on the incident late Saturday, condemned it as “an attack on our society.”
Police identified the suspect as 21-year-old Abdul B., following earlier statements that investigators had traced a suspect with alleged links to Islamist groups.
