Berlin Pride Attack: Suspect Killed | Omaha News

A deadly Berlin Pride attack that killed one and injured 29 was thwarted when the suspect, Abdul Ballout—a German citizen with Lebanese roots—was fatally shot by police after a 24-hour manhunt. The assault, involving a van ramming into a crowd followed by machete stabbings, is being treated as an Islamic extremist terror attack. Ballout, who had previously tried to join ISIS and was imprisoned in Lebanon, was born in Germany and had a suspended sentence for extremist activities.
