One killed in 'Allahu Akbar' attack in East Munich

An attack by a man armed with a cold weapon in the eastern part of Munich, Germany, on Tuesday, May 10, left one dead and several injured. Some local German media reported, citing eyewitnesses, that the assailant shouted 'Allahu Akbar' during the attack. According to Reuters, the attack occurred early in the morning at a subway station in a small town called Grafing, east of Munich in southern Germany. Reuters also reported, citing police sources, that the attack resulted in one death and three injuries, with the victims in critical condition. The three injured were aged 43, 55, and 58. Meanwhile, German-language media reported that the attacker has been arrested by the police and all victims of the attack are men. A spokesperson for the German prosecutor's office stated that the attacker is a 27-year-old man and apparently had a 'political motive' for his actions. While France and Belgium have been the targets of several deadly terrorist attacks with high casualties, this is the first time such an incident has occurred in Germany, which has played a central role alongside other Western countries in the fight against the Islamic State or ISIS. Meanwhile, the French news agency reported that since September of last year, this is the third politically motivated knife attack in Germany. The report also mentioned that last summer, two German members of the Islamic State called on Muslims in Germany and Austria to attack 'infidels' in a video message.
