Original Note:
The Munich attack was carried out by Farhad N., a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker (arrived 2016, rejected 2017) with prior drug/theft charges. Investigators cite possible extremist motives (Islamist social media posts) but stress victims weren’t specifically targeted. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/crime/munich-car-attack-suspect-farhad-asylum-seeker-b2697789.html https://www.rferl.org/a/afghan-suspect-detained-munich-car-attack-immigration/33313985.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdry8xd47ylo https://economictimes.com/news/international/us/munich-car-attack-28-injured-as-man-rams-vehicle-into-crowd-suspect-is-afghan-asylum-seeker/articleshow/118218790.cms
