Germany says fatal Berlin Pride attack believed to be an act of Islamic extremist terror
Police say the suspect remains at large as investigators seek witnesses and footage after the attack killed one woman and injured at least 16 people.
- A vehicle drove into crowds at Berlin Pride on Saturday, killing one person and injuring at least 16 others. Berlin Police identified the suspect as Abdul, who was shot dead on the outskirts of Berlin on Sunday.
- Cabinet minister Wes Streeting called the attack "absolutely horrific," saying it reinforces Pride's importance. He noted Pride remains "a celebration but also a protest" against those rejecting same-sex relationships, warning hate crimes are "on the rise."
- Ahead of Brighton and Hove Pride next weekend, Streeting said the Home Secretary and police chiefs will determine the "right" policing presence. British Pride marches are already "always well policed," he added, striking a balance between safety and celebration.
- Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Bryant and equalities minister Simon Lightwood said the attack demonstrated why Pride marches still matter. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz urged participants in Berlin and across Germany not to be intimidated by the tragedy.
- Folkestone Pride organisers wrote that the attack reinforces Pride's core mission of visibility, safety, and solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community. Brighton Pride marks its 35th anniversary the weekend of August 1–2, headlined by RAYE and Diana Ross.
