Man ran over the crowd in Munich for ‘religious motivation’, says police
“He recognized that he voluntarily run over the protesters and invoked a reason that I would summarize as a religious motivation,” added a prosecutor, Gabrielle Tillmann.
The Afghan who arrived in Germany in 2016, when he was 15, shouted “Allahu Akbar!” (God the greatest) After being arrested, the authorities indicated.
On his cell phone, police discovered several religious messages.
“It was religious and wanted to spread the word,” Limmer said, referring to his accounts on social networks.
However, “nothing points to being linked to an organization, such as the Islamic State,” said Tillmann.
His asylum request was rejected by the authorities, but was still legally “tolerated” as a resident in Germany in particular because he claimed to have a job, especially as a vigilant.
