MUNICH, Germany: Police have arrested an Afghan asylum seeker at the scene of what German leaders labelled a car ramming “attack” that wounded 28 people, some seriously, in the southern city of Munich on Thursday.
The carnage came on the eve of a high-profile security conference in the Bavarian city and amid a heated immigration debate ahead of February 23 elections following a spate of similar attacks. The vehicle, a Mini Cooper, barrelled into a demonstration held by trade unionists, leaving a trail of victims and scattering their belongings on the street. Police at the scene fired a shot at the battered car and detained the driver, a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who was identified by German media as Farhad N.
