Munich Car Attack Injures 28, Sparks Security Debate

A car-ramming incident in Munich has left at least 28 people injured, many critically, during a union demonstration organized by Verdi. The driver, identified as a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, deliberately drove a Mini Cooper into the crowd, according to Bavarian Premier Markus Söder. The suspect, known for previous theft and drug offenses, was detained after police fired a shot at the vehicle. This incident has intensified discussions on immigration and security in Germany, particularly as it occurs just before the national elections and the Munich Security Conference. The attack adds to a series of recent violent incidents involving immigrants, exacerbating public anxiety and influencing the political climate. Authorities are investigating the motive, although the event is not believed to be linked to the upcoming security conference.
