Berlin Pride Attack Shocks Nation | Global News

A van plowed into a crowd near Berlin’s Pride festival, killing one and injuring several — an attack authorities now classify as an extremist terror act targeting the city’s core values of tolerance and diversity. The 21-year-old suspect, Abdul Ballout, remains at large and is deemed dangerous. For LGBTQ+ and Muslim communities, including police officer Ali Darwich, the assault strikes at the heart of their identity and safety. Rising anti-queer hate crimes in Germany have gone largely unchallenged, making this attack a chilling political statement. Yet amid the grief, Berliners are rallying — united in mourning and resolve to build a more inclusive, resilient future.
